To the People of Branson: The Eastern Ozarks Stand with You

I just wanted to publish a quick post about the tragedy that took place on Table Rock Lake on Thursday night. An amphibious "Ride the Ducks" vehicle was caught in a storm and did not make it back to shore. The last figures I saw were that 17 people perished during this accident (nine of which were of the same family). I have rode the "Ducks" when my children were young and it's hard to imagine losing a loved one in such an accident.

For the past several years I have worked with online and traditional printed publications as a free-lance author. One of those publications is a weekly online magazine entitled "State of the Ozarks", based out of Hollister, Missouri.

I live in the Eastern Ozark foothills of Southeast Missouri and SOTO has been a tremendous help in trying to promote the lesser known Eastern Ozarks where I live. The magazine's editor Joshua Heston can only be described as having a heart of gold. He is a good man and a good friend.

I would like to share a video published by Mr. Heston and Dale Grubaugh (the magazine's publisher). These gentlemen have a heartfelt message to share about the tragedy and I join them in asking the public to refrain from "finger pointing" in regards to who is at fault. As Mr. Grubaugh stated there will be time for that later, right now is a time for healing.

Nineteen stars circle around a large star, which represents Mississippi as the 20th state to join the Union in 1817. The large star is called Bonnie Blue. Stennis had some help producing the flags with Complete Flag Source. To date, well over 2,000 Stennis flags have been sold." According to the report Stennis' asks: "Is our logo doing it’s job? I would argue absolutely not because every time it comes up we fight about and we get tense.” Okay, where to start? WREG reports that the flag is
