It was just a service project
they did every year
The boy scouts moved from
cross to cross
Placing the flags with
practced care
They did not think about
all the great loss
One scout noticed a name
and felt sad
He stood stiffly with
three fingers on his brow
It was the rank,name and
number of his grand dad
He now knows the feeling
of the loss now

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh my gosh, this is so so sad, my heart goes out to this boy and his loss! (wipes tears) Losses can be such a difficult thing to overcome, I pray with all my heart that he may heal and his love will always guide him forever! (big hugggssss) So sad but beautiful, sweet friend, God Bless You! We all love you so much, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Robert, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Paladin, that must have been a moving yet proud moment in that young Scout's life. Well written and nice to see you posting here again!

The young don't always know how the old feel, but when they do, they learn!Nicely said Paladin
