Join Boy Scouts in demonstrating Support for Our Troops

Scouting in Support of America Call to Action March 2003
Roy L. Williams, the Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America, has asked Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers, and volunteer leaders across America to tie red, white, and blue ribbons on trees in their neighborhoods. "Our thoughts are with our fellow Americans fighting for peace in the Middle East, and we pray for their safe return," Williams says.
Throughout the decades, the Boy Scouts of America has rallied to the support of our nation's military and their families. In countless conflicts, Scouts have stood shoulder to shoulder in supporting the brave men and women who protect our nation. In this current conflict, Scouts, volunteers, and families will carry on this great tradition.
We encourage all citizens to show their support of America by joining us in tying red, white, and blue ribbons on trees in neighborhoods across the country. If you know someone in the armed services, you may honor him or her by writing their name on the ribbons. see: http://www.scouting.org/media/rwb/index.html

KEYWORDS: boyscouts; ribboncampaign; supportthetroops
I received this e-mail today. I thought it would be a wonderful way to demonstrate our support for our troops along with the Boy Scouts of America. I searched for other posts about it but found none.

I've have some big red, white, and blue bow I used during a Support Our Troops rally at my daughters school. Dig them out of the basement tomorrow!
I also think we should start sporting yellow ribbons for our POWs.

My son has his Boy Scout meeting tonight. He didn't mention it to me.
I'll show him this tomorrow.
His best friends uncle is a Marine over there. There's yellow ribbons all over their trees.
Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for the ping. I lost my "BUMP" list when my hard drive crashed.
Such is life.
