There was news of the carnage in Europe and Asia, and many were grateful America was not involved. The country faced the hardship of The Great Depression, and even though Arden’s little community wasn’t spared, everyone had shared food and other necessities. Though there were shortages, everyone had plenty to eat and a place to live. Arden was a leader in the community, and he felt the need for a special Thanksgiving Day dinner. He and other community leaders organized it but they wondered who the speaker should be. Someone suggested Ben. He was the scoutmaster and had been for many years. His love for the country and his gratitude for life was evident in how he lived and how he trained the boys. Everyone agreed that Ben was the perfect choice. When asked, Ben gladly accepted. He asked if his scouts could post the colors. Everyone thought that would be a good idea.
