Jamboree Update - 7/25/10 additional information

Post date: Jul 25, 2010 10:45:40 PM

As was mentioned in an earlier post (below), we visited Arlington National

Cemetery today. I'd like to share with you something written by one of our

Scouts after the visit (the Scouts name is withheld due to privacy

concerns). The scout wrote:

"The morning we visited Arlington Cemetery. For the brief time we were

there, we saw the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier,

J.F.K.'s grave, and thousands of graves of those who served our country. I

have always been impressed by the incredible discipline that the soldiers

at the Tomb of the Unknown have and today was no exception. As for the

thousands of graves we saw ... this was a great reminder to me and everyone

else that freedom isn't free."
