Monument Colorado Memorial

Please note, while I am a member of the Jewish War Veterans  and have been an Eagle Scout, Scout leader including  in many capacities  including Professional Scouter, I am not speaking on behalf of either organization.

I recently received  an email from the Jewish War Veterans about the Military Memorial in Monument, Colorado.

I would like to add my comments to Andy Meyer’s and Sam Fairchild’s superbly written commentaries on the Monument.

First of all, the monument must be removed or modified.  It is violation of the constitution and the principles of the Scouts.

It is truly a shame, while  we are trying to encourage Scouting principles and respect for Military service and sacrifice, this young man who worked very hard on his road to Eagle is in the middle of a hotbed due to the poor guidance of his Scout leaders and just plain ignorance by the city officials.

Military Religious Freedom Foundation seems to have the experience and is taking the lead in this effort.  Please let me know if except for this moral support and contribution if there is anyway I can help.
