Memorial Day Thank You

My father, a WWII vet, is buried at the Forest Hill Cemetery in Oak Creek. I went there yesterday to place flowers on his grave and found a flag placed by your Scouts. There were hundreds all over the cemetery! Please thank your Scouts for doing this and for honoring my father and all of our vets. It is greatly appreciated and did not go unnoticed!
