Subject:   Scouting in Support of America

Throughout the decades, the Boy Scouts of America has rallied to the support of our nation's military and their families.  In countless conflicts, Scouts have stood shoulder to shoulder in support of the brave men and women who protect our nation.

In this current conflict, I am proud to report that Scouts, volunteers, and families across the nation are carrying on that tradition by displaying flags and providing service to military families. I salute each and every one of them for their service.

To show support for our country and our men and women in uniform, Scouts and leaders across America are encouraged to tie red, white, and blue ribbons on trees in their neighborhoods. Our thoughts are with our fellow Americans fighting for peace in the Middle East, and we pray for their safe return.
