Flag Planting 2024

On Saturday May 25, Troop 27 had the annual Memorial Day Flag Planting at Skylawn Cemetery. This year, we had some other troops join us in flag planting. Before starting the troops gathered for donuts in one of the buildings. At the start, Mr. Frydenlund, talked about the importance of how Memorial Day can relate to us as civilians. Once dispersed, the patrols began to put flags down for those who served in the different military branches.
