HI Troop 75 Ohana,

I hope your all enjoying your 3 day weekend! It was a beautiful day, a little overcast but at least there was a breeze. But it was hot in the Cemetery. We  got a very light drizzle while we we're eating lunch. Thank goodness it was only in passing.  A HUGE MAHALOS to all the Scout's and Parents who came out this morning to do our duty.

We had a nice Bus ride to Punchbowl. What a beautiful sight to behold as the Scout's and Cub Scout's put the Flags and Leis on the more than 38,000 graves. It's like a huge wave moving across the Cemetery grounds. As hundreds of Scout's and Cub Scout's come together to honor our fallen hero's. Who fought for the freedom which we live under. A very touching display of appreciation and gratitude.

This year seemed like there we're more Scout's and Cub Scout's. The Ceremony started at 1:00 p.m. and was done by 1:30. It took the Kaala District a little over 30 minutes to cover our section. And we had one of the biggest sections too. We all enjoyed ice cream and juice sponsored by Meadow Gold when we we're done. And we walked down to Stevenson where our Bus was waiting. It was a great day!

Have a wonderful week!

Aloha,

Mr. Al
