My grandson Tyler Jackson received some awards at his

Blue and Gold Cub Scout Banquet.

Then he danced as the boys each shared their talent.

On March 8 I attended my very good friend's BSA award night.

Scott Monsen received the Silver Beaver award!

Jerry and Braden and I went to San Diego.

We toured the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier.

The Midway was named after the WWII Battle of Midway.

This ship is similar to the ship Jerry was on at the start of the Vietnam War,

it was named the Bon Homme Richard.

And the Midway was near Vietnam while I was stationed there in 1972.

After that we went through "The Star of India",

and the "Ship Surprise". We also went through a Russian and an American Submarine.

Matthew received a Citizenship in the World Merit Badge.

Then he received his Star Rank Advancement! Next is Life and then Eagle!

Today I went to the Utah State Capitol and took pictures.

Thanks to a wonderful response from our family members I was able to revise our Military Collage and add several new family members to it.

Members of our family have served in the armed forces for over 100 years!

God Bless America!
