Many from Venture Crew 27 and from Troop 27 came to help plant flags to honor all who died in military service and were given graves in Skylawn Cemetery. The helpers were given donuts and juice in the beginning of the day to help wake us up. We gathered at the top of a hill, and Mr. F gave a blunt, beautiful, and downright patriotic speech on freedom and who thought it was worth fighting and dying for, including the soldiers of D Day and the service of those in WW2. We went around in teams of 2, with one person with a screwdriver to get a hole in the ground and the other with a bundle of flags to place in the hole. We went down the rows and searched for military signs, and regardless of where that soldier came from, they received a flag of remembrance. We covered the entire area fairly quickly, and those leaving for Fam. Camp right after were well on time. It was a good service, and I highly recommend all who can to go and give a few hours in remembrance for those who gave everything.
