youth, tomorrow's leaders, that America will maintain her glory; and

WHEREAS, The Boy Scouts of America and its members are dedicated to

adoration area outside of his local church, Notre Dame, in New Hyde

his community, his State and his Nation, and no doubt his future will be
filled with accomplishments of equal importance; now, therefore, be it
