Joplin Tornado Memorial Service begins

The colors have just been presented to begin the Joplin Tornado Memorial Service and now Lt. Col. Regina Kilmer of the Missouri National Guard is singing The National Anthem.

Anyone who was worried about how people in this richly Republican area of southwest Missouri was going to respond to the presence of President Barack Obama needn't have worried. The president and Gov. Jay Nixon were greeted with applause when they entered the auditorium.
