I grew up with Chris, we were in scouts together.  After acheiving Eagle Scout, he went on to the Merchant Marine Academy and eventually 3 tours in Iraq.  If you have 3 minutes, watch this clip.  I am extremely proud of him...

I\'m not an eagle scout.  I left the scouts at Life rank.  I was a couple badges shy and never completed my community service project.  Chris did become an Eagle Scout.
