New Hope Parish Prayer Requests and Praises
Praises
Ben Matney passed his Eagle Scout Board of Review
Ben Matney (center) holds a flag display case that he presented to the Paola American Legion Post 156. Matney was joined by members of Osawatomie Boy Scout Troop 106. For his Eagle Scout project, he made 60 display boxes for families of local veterans.
“When my grandfather passed away, we were trying to find a nice flag display box to put his flag in and couldn’t find one,” he said. “We were not going to put an American flag in a box made in China. I thought making some nice American flag display boxes would be a great project.”
Matney worked on the project for two years, donating them to the Paola American Legion Post 156. He started the project in September of 2018 and just finished his 60th display box this past June. He said time and care was put into each and every display box and that is why it was such a time consuming one. “I am not going to give a family something I wouldn’t display in my home,” he said. “I am proud of every single display box.”
What an accomplishment for this young man. All at New Hope Parish Congratulate Him!!
