Cub Scout crawls grave to grave, honoring the dead

Pivoting his body with his right arm and holding a neon-green ruler in his left hand, James Milam, 10, crawled from grave to grave at Nashville National Cemetery yesterday morning, carefully placing an American flag exactly one foot from each gravestone.

The energetic fourth-grader took the task seriously.

I hope I'm doing this right

Ya dun good.
Except for failing to post a "get tissues and don't let tears get into the keyboard" alert.

That even goes for the old curmuddgeons such as myself.

This sort of story reminds some of us about what ingrates we are...despite all the
blessing we have.

Tomorrow, he will join two U.S. Marines in the annual wreath-laying ceremony at the cemetery.

I'm sure those Marines have a heart and will be looking up at one small boy in a wheelchair today.

Nice

I take your wager up...and bet you double that there are plenty of Gay Servicemen that have laid their lives down over the years.

You obviously are clueless...

Why try to hijack this thread with comments and hate like that?

Sad...really sad

Isn't America great?

[facedown]

Great post; great catch.

So Lucas1, do you deny that the radical gay agenda is to hurt the children (deny the Boy Scouts funding), in order to get their adult leaders to comply?

Tell us that the radical gays had no other opyion?

If they are as unselfish as you claim in your FReep Mail, wouldn't they say, "I'll have no part of hurting children, I'll pass on this one."

Lucas1, the bet is "what gay activist put flags on vet's graves".

I'm sure that anyone gay or straight that is unselfish enough to serve wouldn't go along with the radical gay blackmail strategy to hurt children until the adults comply.

A great example of courage and patriotism at such a tender age. May God bless him and guide him.

[SAMWolf]

Makes you believe there's still hope for our Country.

Hey Kneezles Great story isn't it. And yet the Scouts are under attack by this society.

[Doctor Raoul]

I spent the afternoon putting talk radio hosts and other media in the fax queue.

Probably a $75 hit to the phone bill, but it's worth the chance at getting this story out.

[Mr. Mojo]

This Patriot is a true inspiration.

[Mr. Mojo]

Scouts are under attack because they stand for everything leftists despise.

Everything

[conservcalgal]

beautiful - an inspiration to the older scouts who sometimes forget what's it's about!!!

[SAMWolf]

Good job. I sure hope it gets picked up. You know the mainstream media won't put it out.

[Ronaldus Magnus]

Without even mentioning abortion, this is a most powerful argument against it.

Hey cpforlife.org, think this is worth a pro-life bump? Thousands or even millions of children like this have been murdered in the womb before ever being given the chance to give anything back to society. This child's example represents everything the pro-life movement is fighting for. God bless this child and God save our country.
