In 1965, I believe, Imelda Marcos invited my scout Troop 351 BSA and Foreign Troop 1 Philippine Scouts to participate in the flag ceremony at the American Cemetery in Manila. We were standing just to the left of the space between the circular uprights in your picture.
I was leader and had several of our American scouts present in full uniform. We were graciously received by the wife of the President and Philippine hero Ferdinand Marcos. We had our backs to the opening and did not see the very low flying jets that streaked over us and scared us to death as they passed in salute. They were US Air Force from Clark Air Base.
Our Troop was composed of boys from the American School both American and not American. The non Americans were sons of diplomats or business men and were Foreign Troop 1. The Americans were a normal BSA troop, Phillippine District, Far East Council, Makati Rizal.
That must have been a great experience to get to meet Imelda and Ferdinand Marcos. The troops were probably thrilled to get to make such an exciting trip. The planes woke you guys up, did they? LOL That would have caused a weak knee or two. :o)
Uh-RAH!
