Civic duty....

We are loving the cubscout program that Ronnie is in! Especially the wonderful leadership in Pack 215! Everything he is learning (and having fun doing) is very patriotic and civic minded. Ron & Ronnie were able to participate in a flag retirement ceremony at the boy scout cabin recently. There were 3 branches of the military there, as well as veterans from a nursing home who came to pay tribute to our flag. That was so touching to see the emotion on those veterans faces. Another thing that we love, is that Ron and Ronnie get to do most of these meetings and activities together...wonderful father and son memories. Who better to mentor Ronnie than his dad?

There were cubscouts and boyscouts from every rank...
Ronnie helping with the flag....he has learned proper flag ediquette as well respect for our country and flag.


And he gets to do these things with his friends...this is his friend, James.
One of the best parts of the day was sharing it with his grandfather! My dad was in the Marine Corp when he was younger, and came out to participate with Ronnie.
One of the many fun learning activities we are doing with the cubscouts. ~Sue~

I just realized that our boys have never learned flag etiquette, since they were so young when Craig left the Army, and they haven't done scouts. Hmmm...
