A Boy Scout troop leader friend of mine ask me for pieces of red wood, oak, cedar, and walnut to be used during a flag retirement ceremony. This is part of it:
To the burial fire we add ...
REDWOOD: to remind us of the red-blooded Americans who fought and died to build our nation under this flag.
OAK:for rugged strength that carried the flag across this nation and today reaches for the stars.
CEDAR:to protect us from pestilence and corruption and preserve our American way of life.
WALNUT: to remind us of the rich soil, the beautiful countryside and the fruitful brotherhood founded by our ancestors."
I can help him with the oak part and possibly redwood but am drawing a blank on small pieces of cedar and walnut. He only wants small pieces, a few inches square for the ceremony. He located in Zebulon. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the help.
Tom
