God bless these men.
My heritage is from the Boy Scouts.
My dad and uncle were Eagle Scouts, two
of only a few American Indians to go to
the international jamboree in London in the
1930's or so.
He told me stories about how, when the
German Boy Scouts entered the stadium,
the began to goose step. Not everyone
understood what that meant, yet.
There were calls about the Germans needing.
powder for their pants because they
all had heat rash. Dad said a few joked
about the Germans needing some kind of home-grown
remedy for hemmrhoids.
My dad and uncle were well treated by their adult
leaders in a day when Indian people were often
looked down upon and ridiculed.
These men deserve our thanks and their families
our prayers.

Yes, they do. And your dad and uncle would be proud.
