Scout shepherds vision of 3rd Group memorial into reality (UPDATE: GO VOTE NOW)

Scout shepherds vision of 3rd Group memorial into reality

http://fayobserver.com/articles/2010...052501?sac=Mil

"Jacob Netzel insists he's no hero.

The families and friends of more than two dozen fallen soldiers disagree.

When Col. Mark Schwartz, commander of the 3rd Special Forces Group, saluted Netzel's "leadership and persistence" in making the group's memorial walkway a reality, many of them nodded in agreement................"

Eagle Scout project.

Good work Jacob.

Eagle Scout Jacob Netzel, you set an incredibly outstanding example for every young man in this Country.

I gotta hunch we'll hear more about you in the future.

Thank you.

I was at the ceremony, it was a great time.

The Scout was very humble, considering the efforts he had to make to raise the funds, get a waiver for the project from Sec Army, and make it happen.

Lots of brothers there, and their families, to honor the fallen.

Will post a pic or two later.

We will never forget.

Thanks, Jacob!

Well done, Jacob. These are the reasons why I will always love being a part of the Scouting organization.
