Veteran's Memorial

The American Legion and Veteran's of Foreign Wars have been trying to get a Veteran's Memorial built here in Prescott Valley for the last few years. As they finally approached their completion date for the walkway part of the Memorial, they needed a little help with a fundraiser dinner, so the Scouts jumped into action! They helped to serve a fine spaghetti dinner to a LOT of people, and the Veteran's were very grateful.

A couple of weeks later, they were needed again to handout programs at the unveiling of the Memorial walkway, and were also selected to unveil the Walkway during the ceremony. The Walkway is composed of bricks with the name, service branch, and service dates of military Veterans from the Quad-City areas. It was a very special honor, and a great ceremony.

We are very proud of our Scouts for their continued willingness to serve their fellow man, and we are very grateful to our Veterans for their service and sacrifice.
