An annual project of Troop 285 is to decorate Veteran's graves at Sunset Memorial Park in Albuquerque with small US flags, in time for Memorial Day. This year, we worked on this project on Sunday, May 30th. With about 12 Scouts and Scouters helping, we completed this effort in about an hour. Then, snacks were enjoyed.

A photo gallery of some of the activities follows. Thanks go to Mr. Jim McClure, who organized the project once again this year!
