Stosh 3452 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 One of the forum members reminded me of the importance of getting in touch with this boy's home troop to have a gold star placed on their flag. Our council personnel don't know anything about this process and I do know that it has been discussed previously on the forum. A search of the forum didn't produce any assistance. Would someone please be so kind as to give the process details once more so I can have this done appropriately for this other troop? Thanks Stosh Link to post Share on other sites
John-in-KC 311 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Stosh, http://www.scouter.com/forums/viewThread.asp?threadID=99680 I was a very young lieutentant when I first heard Murphy's Laws of War. Two of them are: - The enemy has a vote. - Even if you do everything right, bad things can happen. I can only hope the two young men were reunited in death. Link to post Share on other sites
ASM915 90 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 jb, I sent a PM to ilduncans asking him to contact you. He usually runs a thread about this a month before Memorial Day. He has information about how to order the stars from National's supply center. The starts come in pairs, one for each side of the flag. Eric P Link to post Share on other sites
Stosh 3452 Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Yes, Thank you! Everyone has been very helpful. The Troop has been notified, given the order number for the star(s) and the Council has a heads up on it. Everyone has been extremely helpful! Stosh Link to post Share on other sites
