There he is, we are so proud of him. There were five boys that got their Eagle. We had the ceremony in the old tabernacle in town. A few service men did a flag ceremony which was neat. Each fold had a meaning, it was very touching. Then each boy received a flag that was flown over the capital for them. On the table that Adam is standing next to are the gifts he received; the eagle that is carved was from Grandma and Grandpa Vance. It's a shelf that Grandma made herself. She did an excellent job. And Adam is so-o excited about it. Then the fleece blanket that has his Eagle date embroidered on it is from his parents. The photo of Christ with the colored child is a card that Liz Swindle painted, it's to remind Adam of the service project that he did. He helped collect items for an orphanage in Haiti. He also received some money. I believe he felt special and all those hours suddenly made it worth it.

Congratulations Adam. We're proud of you.
Congratulations! You are in a small group. When I was at the MTC preparing to leave to Argentina on my mission we were asked to stand if you were an Eagle Scout. The majority of the boys in the auditorium stood. Sadly, I could not.
Congratulations Adam! That is a huge accomplishment!
Adam,
You have accomplished a wonderful goal. Always keep that perseverance alive in your life. It takes integrity to accomplish the important things of life. We sure do love you! Congratulations!
Awesome. Welcome to the club Adam. The type of leadership you exparence and skills you gain at the young age of becoming an Eagle is a dieing art and that makes the accomplishment all that Greater. Well done. Joel
