This a tearjerker for me. The boy was patriotic enough to stand and salute Veterans funeral. This is much more newsworthy than what Colin Kaeperneck did. He could take a lesson from this little boy about what's really important.
Kaiden Wade, 9, stood with his hand on his heart in the rain for 30 minutes during the funeral procession of World War II veteran and hometown hero Jerry O’Keefe.
The O’Keefe family, having been in the funeral-home business for 151 years, pulled out all the stops when patriarch, World War II flying ace and community philanthropist Jerry O’Keefe was laid to rest Saturday.

A foursome that met to golf every weekend was about to tee off on the first tee of the local muni golf course when a funeral procession went by on the street running along the fairway. One of the foursome dropped his club, stood at attention and placed his hand on his heart. His playing partners commented on what a touching gesture he made. "It was the least I could do" he said. "We were married for 40 great years".

Good job on the parenting - Instilling respect, honor and fortitude will serve him well. Sounds like a future tomb guard. Well done Kaiden.

Standing in the rain thirty minutes to salute the Veterans funeral, does reflect on his parents teaching him the proper etiquette for a passing funeral. He's a good kid.
