Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer Becoming Internet Hero

In a tiny way, the woman driver was right. No one knew where she was going or what she had to do, but she missed the point that she knew full well where the car with the flag covered coffin was going along with all the other cars there and what they had to do.

HIGH RIDGE, MO (KTVI - FOX2now.com) - An angry letter from a driver complaining about having to stop as a military funeral passed by has been met with dozens of even angrier responses. And the one written by the Jefferson County Sheriff has people cheering. That story begins near the intersection of I-270 and Gravois.
