Meets 7:00 PM Thursdays
Shepherdsville Community Center

Veteran's Day fell on Thursday this year.  Since this was our regular meeting night, Cubmaster Frank encouraged scouts to come early and attend a special Veteran's Day program in the foyer of the Bullitt County Courthouse prior to our weekly den meetings.  The half-dozen scouts who showed up were surprised to be asked to provide a color guard and lead the Pledge of Allegiance to start the program.

A speaker delivered a patriotic speech about the service our veterans have provided over the year and closed with a very moving poem that was a perfect fit for occasion.  When an invitation was given for any veterans present to stand and share a personal story, World War II veteran Joe Milner told about some of his experiences flying in B-24 bombers in Europe.  It was a good talk for the boys to hear.

Afterward, the group hung around to take a few photos (below) and got interviewed by a Courier-Journal reporter.  Who knows ... maybe they'll get their picture in the newspaper as well as on the Web!

The crowd for the ceremony was small but the program was well-planned and interesting.		Local resident and WW-II veteran Joe Milner shared his experience as a crewman on a B-24 bomber.
