The eagle has landed!

I guess you have to be as old as dirt like me to remember the famous quote: "the Eagle has landed" (Apollo 11, first manned spacecraft to land on the moon. You've probable read about it in history, but I watched it on TV!)... anyway... our ward had a GREAT idea. They wanted to do something for the boys that achieved their eagle, but never got recognized. Trent.. just like my other boys... was just glad the eagle thing was over and chose not to do the ceremony. So ... our ward had a big eagle court of honor for 6 boys... actually "young MEN"... they were all 18+! Trent "gladly" accepted the invitation (HA) and attended! Here is Trent by his display table before the ceremony... No pics of the ceremony... it was in the Chapel. But it was VERY nice! There were great talks and scout stuff and wonderful (and hilarious) impromptu thank you speeches by the eagles!

Here is Trent after the ceremony with his eagle pin and neckerchief. A guy in uniform... always a handome sight!

Woo Hoo!! we got parent pins!

Here is Trent with Brother Tate who was VERY instrumental in helping Trent get his eagle.(THANK YOU!!!!) Also a BIG thanks goes to Brother Brummett, Sister Tate, Brother Spencer, Brother LeSueur and many other leaders and Mike for his wood expertise.

So there ya have it... the eagle has landed... maybe not as historical as landing on the moon... but

still a pretty important event!
