So very proud of Jace. We had his Eagle Court of Honor today. Dad was there to read the Eagle Charge. ![[Linked Image]](https://s26.postimg.org/6mw8riojt/2694.jpg)

Hey - congrats Jace - well done - and nice smiling moments for Donelle and your dad. Easy to see that you are taller than mom now.
One has to suppose that grandpa is proud of this and will be sending you a nice present. Right, Ben? If you are as good at scouting as your sister is at shooting targets, your troop is fortunate. Looking forward to seeing you this summer at AS.

Congrads! It takes a lot of work to achieve. I received my Eagle on 3/12/12. I'll never forget that day.

Congratulation on your Eagle Scout. I know how hard you worked to get it. What was your Eagle project? I received mine in 1987. For my project I refurbished and old historic cemetery in the valley where I still live.

Donelle and Ben,
Congrats for the proud parent and grand parent...
To Jace, let him know I am proud of him.... he's always been an excellent young man to
be around at ArmyJoe Springs....and now he's taking those first steps into manhood.
Always has been a squared away young man, and now even moreso...
Hope he keeps with Scouting and passes on what he has learned to the younger boys in his
troop, as I know he will be a shining example of what it means to be an Eagle Scout.
Tell him he gets a Scouting Salute of Respect from me and a hardy congrats on his accomplishment.
I darn sure know the work it takes, as I bet I have mentored probably 60 plus scouts to the rank of Eagle
in my scouting career.
and finally, ask him what would he like as a present from me, for this milestone in his life.
its the least I could do, with how much a pleasure it has been to spend time around your son and grandson
each summer for a couple of days...
cheers and best regards

My sincerest congratulations on a job well done. I know you’re so proud of your young man! I’m sure he’ll carry this moment with him for the rest of his life, as I have. Got mine at 17 and still remember it vividly even at 60 years old.
You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.

Congratulation on your Eagle Scout. I know how hard you worked to get it. What was your Eagle project? I received mine in 1987. For my project I refurbished and old historic cemetery in the valley where I still live. Jace built a weather shed for the church's food pantry distribution building. We volunteer there on a regular basis. ![[Linked Image]](https://s26.postimg.org/i4qdon3op/IMG_0366.jpg)

Congratulations, that’s a good thing to have on a college entrance application or resume. That’s a lot of work.

[quote=Seafire] and finally, ask him what would he like as a present from me, for this milestone in his life. John, he doesn't need gifts. You have shared your knowledge and love of shooting with him every year for the last 4 years at Armijo Springs. That is worth millions to him and me. Thank you.
