They Did Good!

Got an early morning call from the boys to report that their presentation on Ira Hayes was well received. Alcolades from everyone including the bigwigs....This is a copy of an email Seth sent to his Uncle Tom:
We did a presentation on a Native American named Ira Hayes, who helped to raise the flag at Iwo Jima. We did a power point talking about him and his life, and then we put together a slid show on Windows Movie Maker that showed pictures of his life and the flag raising. The slide show had an old Johnny Cash song as the background music, the song was about Ira Hayes called "The Ballad of Ira Hayes." It was a competition that was actually judged by the Division Commander and the Division Command Seargent Major. There were also a number of other high ranking officers there to watch. There were eleven other companies that were represented and did presentations as well. ! When it was all over the Seargent Major came up to Eli and I and told us it was the best presentation he had ever seen, and that we had his vote for first place. He then gave us each one of his coins, which in the military is a big deal. Eli and I were very pleased with the response we got, and enjoyed doing the presentation. It was nice to have something to work on over here.
