    One of the kids I mentored for many years installed flat pole bases along the entrances into the town cemetery as his Eagle Scout Project....the VFW was there to help too, but he raised all the money, and did all the work. Now every Memorial Day, and Veterans day those flags line then entrances to the cemetery.

    There’s always that saying, “the kids these days” well this young man…just proved people wrong!! For that young man’s determination to see it thru from start to finish…makes him a hero…in his own right!

      There are a lot of good kids out there, the media just never bothers to report on them, rather all the negativity instead.

    As soon as I saw the headline, I knew it had to be an Eagle Scout project. Not all of them are this grand. You don't hear much positive about boy scouts these days because of detractors and media agendas here and there. God and country. Physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. Nice job, young man.

    So sad. That is an expensive headstone. Imagine what you could have done with that kind of money. Instead, it was put into something utterly useless...

      Imagine all the money you've wasted on a house, car, your worthless college education. Talk about utterly useless and a waste, being the life you have.
