YouTube of the Week

A valedictorian from the local high school made national news about a week ago for the speech he gave at graduation.

He stopped giving his pre-approved speech and then he did this:

A lot of this started because the school board is being sued to stop allowing students to pray before a school board meeting. Mr. Costner believes this is a bad thing and used his moment at the podium to express his faith.

A few days later he was flown to NYC to be on Fox News.  LINK to video.
Around the same time, Roy's dad appeared on CNN to talk about the issue.

During all the media attention, everything I have seen from this young man makes me proud that he is from our little town of Liberty.  He has been a good ambassador for his home town.
