He was an avid supporter of his children and grandchildren’s many activities—from sports to livestock shows—cheering them on with love and encouragement.

Above all, he always put God first. He looked forward to taking his grandkids to church every Wednesday. He took pride in maintaining the grounds of his beloved church, Paden First Baptist, where he faithfully served as a deacon.

Congratulations Peter. We hope you had a great week at Boys State. It is a great program and we are grateful to have the opportunity to support our young people.

Peter Hang represented Paden Public School at this year's Oklahoma American Legion Boys State held at Rogers State College. Peter is the son of Steve Hang and See Xiong.

Boys State is an intensive week-long discovery of the essence of civic duty, citizenship, leadership, and understanding of the American way of life from a participatory perspective. Delegates will not only learn how the American System of government and politics works theoretically, but also in a hands-on laboratory setting.

Boys State is sponsored by the American Legion of Oklahoma. Delegates to Boys State have just completed their junior year of high school and have been selected by their local American Legion Post as a representative of the best of their community. Boys State was established in the 1930s as a way to counter anti-American activity during the pre-World War II era. It was so successful as a citizenship training activity that is remains the premier program of its type in the United States. It has been described as, and is “The week that shapes a lifetime”.

A special thanks to Parks Brothers Funeral Service of Prague for sponsoring Peter to be a part of this learning opportunity. Also, another special thank you to Jack Vaughn, Prague American Legion, for being such an instrumental ambassador for the Boys State Program of Oklahoma.
