That at 7:48 PM EST this evening the Boy Scouts of America added another Eagle Scout to its ranks....Doug Buchanan...aka AR Junior.

What a great Christmas gift for us as a family and for him in particular!

Mayor Bates:Daryl, he wouldn't hurt a fly. I know my son, Colonel. He's not the guerrilla type.
Colonel Ernesto Bella: According to records, Mayor... your son is a prominent student leader.
Mayor Bates: Yes, well... he's a leader, but not in a violent or physical way. You see, Daryl... he's more of a politician, like his father.
Colonel Ernesto Bella: A member of an elite paramilitary organization: "Eagle Scouts!"
