In honor of our troops and all those who fight for our
freedom, Troop 179 in Kennewick is hosting a special troop meeting, “the
Meaning of Memorial Day” on May 19 at 7pm. Troop 179 has
several current and retired military parents and it their goal to expose
the Scouts to the real meaning of Memorial Day. CW4 Gordon will present
his slides from his tour flying helicopters in Afghanistan and MAJ Niesen will
present slides from his tour in Iraq. Both CW4 Gordon’s unit and MAJ
Niesen’s unit lost Soldiers while serving so we will have a moment of observance
in memorial for these Soldiers.
