Sunny Waggoner and Emmer O’Kelley are selling red, white, and blue ribbons at 50 cents each so the people of Oklahoma City will know that Pendleton cares. The red, Sunny says, is for the bloodshed. The white is for the children. And the blue is for the people of Oklahoma. “I was watching the memorial service on TV Sunday and I thought I wanted to do something,” Sunny explains.
