Thanks to all scouts and parents who helped with the flagging on Saturday at Village Cemetery and North Weymouth Cemetery, and the parade today.
On Saturday we decorated graves of service men and women who served our country. Several of the representatives from the DAV and VFW commented on how they appreciated our help and respect.
Today we marched in the Memorial Day Parade, which we have done since 1911. The drum and flag corps did a great job. Several adult leaders
helped as well and marched with the group. Many former troop members stopped to congratulate the Troop on looking and sounding good, and we received great feedback from the Mayor and other dignitaries at the reviewing stand.
There were lots of amazing
moments of support and encouragement along the parade route, but the one
moment that resonates is the elder Marine in full dress near Immaculate Conception Church who stood
from his wheelchair to salute our flag as it passed, and remained
standing for all of the other flags in our historic collection.
As a reminder - there is no scout meeting this evening.
