Richard and William were requested by the Mayor and members of the New Richmond Village Council to present the flag at the Village Council Meetings.
We all try and attend the meetings and try to be active in the Village government. The boys normally wear their uniform because it seems like the right thing to do.
I have to say that the boys have attended more council meetings over the last year, than 99% of the village residents have ever attended. On top of that, we have only lived here for just over a year and have only attended about 85% of the meetings, so that is saying a lot.
I am very proud of them for taking this responsibility. Hopefully, they will have enough experience to run for council when they reach 18. Who knows, they might be very political. They have opinions about a lot of the things that are discussed at the meetings. They even spoke to most of the candidates while at the Clermont County Fair and asked good questions there too. I like the sound of Senator Wuerdeman. Who knows what might happen!
Richard and William are members of BSA Troop 519 out of the Forrestville, OH American Legion Post.
