Girl Scout Brownies Honor Local Veterans

From Troop 40222

The Brownies in Girl Scout Troop 40222 of Laurel Plains Elementary School wanted to do something special to show their appreciation to our local veterans. The girls decided that the best way to spend this past Veteran’s Day was to design Thank You cards with a particular phrase and when put together it spelled out: Land Of The Free Because Of The Brave. Troop 40222 Believes In You! Thank You For Our Freedom!

Tonight the Brownies joined the brave veterans of the American Legion Post 1199, Orangeburg, NY. to express their gratitude.

The veterans were welcoming and appreciative.They took time to introduce themselves and explain the different branches of the armed services then presented each Girl Scout with an American Flag.

Each group - Girl Scouts and Veterans - were happy and grateful to share in this special experience.
