On Saturday, September 14th, four of our scouts braved wet, steep and slippery hiking conditions to honor those who perished in the 9/11 attacks by raising our flag over East Osceola Mountain near Lincoln, NH. Our crew this year was Alex Fortin, Matt Lewandowski, Tommy Martineau and Joe Mendenhall. For some this was not only their first participation in Flags on the 48; it was also their first ascent of a 4,000 footer. We welcomed Webelo Evan Furness and his dad, Austen who also braved the challenging conditions. Great job gents! I'm proud of your perseverence through adversity! - Mr. F.
