My son George is about 80% done with his Eagle Project. He chose to refurbish about 1100 crosses that his troop puts on Veterans' grave each Memorial Day. His "crew" also helped make about 100 new crosses and 10 Stars of David. George has faced many challenges in his life from birth. I often prayed when he was younger for God to bring him a "thing" to which he call his own...like a purpose for his life. Boy Scouts has become George's "thing" for the last 4+ years. Becoming an Eagle Scout will certainly be a major milestone in George's life! I couldn't be prouder! It will be at least another few weeks before the physical work is done. The paperwork make take even longer but he is nearly there! I am looking forward to George's Eagle Court of Honor which will probably be held later in summer 2011.
Well Patrice. I had tears in my eyes reading this - George is a FINE upstanding young man, well done both of you!
