| Scouting: passing the flag down the generations |
On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country...
Today we had the opportunity to help those who served their country by serving them, their families, and our community.
In spite of a last minute change in date and time, many Scouts from Troop 321 gave up the first bit of their sunny three day weekend to perform a very important duty: decorating the graves of veterans interred here in our town.
Our Scouts joined many war veterans and blanketed the cemetery with about 1,700 new American flags. Afterwards, the men from the VFW invited the boys over to their newly re-opened hall for hot dogs, potato salad, chips, sodas and cake.
We'll join them again on Memorial Day where we, as part of a larger community, will gather to remember those who served and died for our country.
Additional photos are available in our album.
