Scouts from Troop 502 led the La Canada Memorial Day observances today with the flag ceremony in Memorial Park, and participated in the parade. From Dr. Joe: "Troop 502... you guys nailed it. Stalwart! Your military bearing was perfect. 502 always faithful. Flag detail is a revered job. The tradition comes from the Battle of Missionary Ridge in Chattanooga Tennessee, 1863. The flag detail of the 24th Wisconsin went down time and time again. Arthur MacArthur finally picks up the flag and rallies the regiment yelling, 'On Wisconsin.' The regiment serges and takes the field. Great job 502."
