I see that
the old flagpole still stands. Have our troops hoist the colors
to its peak, and let no enemy ever haul them down.
~General Douglas
MacArthur.
07/07/10 – On
Wednesday night before the monthly business meeting, Kuhl Hose
was presented a new American flag by Boy Scout Troop 133.
Members of the troop performed a flag changing ceremony in front
of Station #68 as all department members in attendance looked
on. The old colors were lowered and replaced with the new ones
donated by the scouts in recognition of the service the
department has given to the troop.
In the past two
years, Kuhl Hose has worked with the troop and it’s affiliated
Cub Scout Pack on numerous occasions to teach fire prevention,
emergency readiness skills and even hosting a first aid skills
competition.
The flag, which
flew over Station 68 for the past several years, will be
retained by the troop and officially retired by the Boy Scouts
in at the Kuhl Hose open house in September. At that time, the
flag will be burned during a solemn ceremony in accordance with
the US Flag Code.
Kuhl Hose would
like to thank Boy Scout Troop 133, chartered by St. Boniface
Church for their donation and we hope to continue mentoring the
first aid and emergency preparedness of scouts for years to
come.
