| Shawn Higgins, age 12, honors a vet with a flower |
Boy Scouts of Troop 317 in Bethlehem Township join with the families of St. Johns Church of Farmersville to honor fallen members of the armed forces in a simple flower ceremony on Sunday, May 26. Scouts led the church congregation across William Penn Highway to St. John’s Cemetery, where a flower was placed on each military gravesite.
Over sixty boys participate in Troop 317's program, under Scoutmaster Frank Olshefski IV.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
