On Sunday, I had the priviledge of leading a group of Boy Scouts who stood their 30 minutes of silent Honor Guard duty at the 9/11 FlightCrew Memorial, in Grapevine, TX. It was a great experience for the boys. The organizers had Boys Scouts standing 30 minute duty cycles, in groups of 4, from 7:30 AM until 7:30 PM. My boys witnessed a few emotional uniformed aircrew members and a 50+ strong motocycle visit.

Since kilts are not part of the official BSA uniform my son and I were not kilted for the occassion. I must say, however, that the boys looked sharp and conducted themselves with dignity and honor.
