So close, yet so far away!












One of the best kept secrets ever in Lawton. Mega Hollywood actor and director Mel Gibson paid a visit to the city on Thursday to show off his new movie and honor its lead actor, a member of the Comanche Nation. Before the private screening of the film Thursday afternoon at Cameron University, Gibson paid a visit to the Comanche Tribal Complex where he and Youngblood were honored with a special ceremony.
Lawton City Councilman Jeff Patton presented the actor with a proclamation declaring September 21, 2006 as Rudy Youngblood day in Lawton.
It was also Youngblood's birthday.
