Eagle Scout Project for Tomball VFW, organized by Kaleb Evett Hi, I am Kaleb. I am a life scout with Troop 1323. I am currently working on my eagle… Kaleb Evett needs your support for Eagle Scout Project for Tomball VFW

The rifle is affixed with a bayonet and inverted, signifying that the Soldier went down fighting. The boots signify the Soldier’s last march onto the battlefield. Dog tags are imprinted with the Soldier’s name and hung from the rifle so their identity will never be forgotten. The helmet is placed atop the rifle representing what the Soldier stood for and signifying that their battle is now over. The Battlefield Cross is a sacred symbol amongst military members. Since a funeral is typically not possible during wartime, these symbols serve as a rallying point where surviving members of a unit can mourn and remember their fallen comrades. This Memorial Day, reach out to the Veterans that you know and give them a simple message: “We Remember.” We remember our country’s fallen, your brothers and sisters, and we appreciate and honor their sacrifice.

Do not thank veterans for their service, not on this day. This weekend is to remember and respect our fallen. Our brothers and sisters who made the ultimate sacrifice and were buried under our nation's banner - our flag - at war or at home.
