The Eagle Scouts have always been associated with service through Duty, Honor and Country. Much like the Veterans that we are honoring through the Veterans Memorial dedication in 2015, the Eagle Scouts have honored the flag that these Veterans carry into battle.
Saved American flag star (2014) picture retreat from CFBRAA database.
When each United States flag is honorably retired, it is disassembled and destroyed. CFBRAA has acquired approximately 50 of the retired flag stars that were saved by an Eagle Scout.
The stars are encased in regular lamination and are meant as a memento of selfless service to our great nation.
“This star has been saved from the fire, the remainder of the flag has been respectably retired by Boy Scout Troop 51 Frisco, Texas.”
The back of the star presents an honoring of Veterans and their selfless service to his and her country through these words:
“I am tattered, torn and worn. Ready to be burned. Now I am a treasured given to you by a grateful nation who honors you for your service and sacrifice. Because of you, I was able to fly over the land of the free. Thank you for your service.”
