Veterans Day 2006

The boys from our pack led Damascus Elementary School's Veterans Day observance on Armistice Day, 2006. It was Mr Clemons's idea, both to help the boys learn patriotism and so that his den could finish an achievement which requires participating in an outdoor flag ceremony. The DES safety patrol raised the colors, and we led the school in the pledge and read some paragraphs we'd written about our veterans. Some members of the Damascus American Legion attended too, so we had someone to thank in person.

Mr Inscoe even wrote an article about our Veterans Day program for the council's adult leader newsletter. We're looking forward to seeing us in print!
