On Saturday, May 23, we'll be participating in the annual flag placement at Marietta National Cemetery. It's moving tribute to America's fallen soldiers, including people from wars reaching back to the Civil War. I hope to see you there.
Uniformed Scouts - that means Class As - will be given flags to place in front of each grave; then step back and salute the flag and the grave. Each scout who participates will receive a
community service patch, provided by the National Memorial Day Association of Georgia.
Registration begins at 8:00 am at the cemetery entrance, located at 500 Washington Ave., Marietta, GA. Look for the Pack 797 sign. A brief program will begin at 8:30 am and concludes with the placement of the flags. There is no registration fee. Parking is available at the Cobb County Main Library, which is across the street from the cemetery.
It will be over by 10 a.m.
