and coincidentally, my new Cub Scout, for the 1st time, led his den tonight in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and the Cub Scout Promise. He promised to do his best to perform his duty to God and his country, as well as helping other people. His face was beaming with pride, his salute was crisp, and he received the praise of the attending parents and den leader for a job well done.
Yeah, what I witnessed tonight was just a travesty.
