Re: Any Memorial Day Plans
Hopefully if the weather is nice, we will be on our boat.
My one son is a Boy SCout, and we miss placing the flags on the graves as well.

I have hinted to a friend about going on his boat this year lololol. Since I probably won’t get to go on a “real boat” (ship) I need something lol

On Saturday, I'll be placing flags at soldiers' gravestones at Calverton National Cemetery.
We do this with our scouts as well and it is one of the most beautiful things I have every been a part of. After just a few minutes into placing the flags and you look up you see the rows and rows of flags, it is just amazing. It is absolutely the best thing we do with the scouts.

Traveling home to finally give my father a memorial. He passed in December but we weren't able to give him a funeral due to Covid.
(((Hugs))) I’m so sorry. Have a safe trip.
My son is turning 10 that weekend and after last year, we are going to celebrate double digits.
My son turns 10 that weekend also. We are going to Diggerland with a few of his friends.

I'll be in Area 70, so if anyone has any relatives in that area, I can place a pebble on their grave if you'd like. This year, I can't travel around to other areas.

Our troop is 69. Has been since my one son was a Cub Scout, and we always go over and visit Mike Murphy.

The two areas are close, but not next to each other. We help to clean the Michael Murphy Park at Lake Ronkonkoma. Our Rotary Club sponsors the annual Michael Murphy Run Around the Lake, and we help with that every year (except last year of course, and we're waiting for guidelines to see if and how we can help this year....)
