Neiman was responsible for approving ideas in the initial stages and also for giving guidance along the way. “I've known Mr. Neiman since | began scouting way back when I was 7,” Miller said. “All along he has helped me by pointing out what I have done right and wrong and what in my project needed improving at different stages along the way.” Sunday night marked a ceremony called the Nightful Watch, held at the American Legion in Dallas. This com- memoration is a flag “retiring” ceremony, involving the proper way to dispose of a flag, which is to burn it. Legionnaires monitored the ceremony all night in what marked the closing of Miller's Eagles Scout project. The work is not com- plete however. “So much more can be done and will be done that my real work will never be finished,” Miller said. “I will not let this project die. So many other projects just end when Eagle Scout status is attained. I am committed to not letting that happen with mine. Now I drive around the valley and see the cemeteries with the newer flags and I know I accomplished something. A lot of work needs to be done to keep up the new appearance, but I feel I'm definitely on the right path.” “So much more ca be done and will be done that my real work will never be finished. ‘ Michael Miller Eagle Scout candidate Miller pointed out that only 2 percent of all Boy Scouts earn the rank of Eagle. Even the process to have the project approved took a lot of time and energy. Miller had to make a trip to Moosic to present his project in front of the Eagle Board, and visited other scout troops and Legion posts to gain their approval. “In between August and April I had to have paperwork completed, trips made to all the cemeteries I wanted to restore, and put in an enormous amount of time in POST PHOTO/RON BARTIZEK To wrap up his Eagle Scout project, Michael Miller burned the 2,000 tattered flags he and others removed from graves in 16 cemeteries, replacing them with new ones. In addition, Scouts and veterans placed 5,000 flags on graves that lacked them. research and telephone calls,” Miller said. Miller's project was officially approved April 17 and officially completed with Sunday’s ceremony at the American Legion. The last flag replace- ment took place Saturday in Wyoming, after flags at Mt. Olivet Cemetery were replaced Thursday of last week. Accord- ing to Miller, completion of this project does not necessary ae FE . £4 guarantee Eagle Scout status. “An Eagle Scout needs to complete a service project and earn a certain number of merit badges,” he said. “No matter what happens, I'm going to give it my all that this project continues though.” Miller is currently in 10th grade at Dallas High School.
