Mayfield, Ky.–With no advance notice, former Vice President Mike Pence toured tornado-damaged Mayfield Saturday.
Graves County Sheriff Jon Hayden said the visit was a surprise and an honor.
Hayden said, “While enroute to pick some supplies at our command post behind the courthouse, I drove up on a small crowd. When I exited my truck, I was greeted by Vice President Mike Pence.
“This man came to our town, no advanced notice, no fanfare, and intentionally did not want to hinder our efforts. I had a conversation with him and he said to please relay his sincere thoughts and prayers for all of us.
“He then asked to pray with us there on that spot. He was humble, kind, and genuine. It was an honor.”
