The boys "work" from 5PM till 8PM then get to eat and go home. Usually by 8PM the line is either gone or very short. We see few WWII or Korea vets. But we get a lot of Vietnam, Gulf War and Cold War vets.
Thats cool Dallas, I am in La Plata, I used to work at the Corral to earn ammo money for a few years. I would have worked that day pro bono had they done this then. Keep up the good example for your scouts.
