On Memorial Day last year, the Boy Scouts along with veterans and military personnel visited a nearby cemetery to pay tribute. Caleb participated in a ceremony and carried one of the flags {pic above}.
We share our deepest appreciation and gratitude to those who sacrificed and laid down their lives so that we could live in freedom. Across our nation on this day we come together to remember, to observe, to honor, and to pay tribute for their service to the country.
