“Saluting Den 6 Wolf Cubs are, from left, Brendan Riley, Joey Goss, future Tiger Cub Derrick Riley, Ryan Desrosiers, Jimmy Canby and Jimmy Cooley. Cub Scouts from Wolf Den 6 set up the Veteran’s Day flag decorations in November at the American Legion Hall in Clinton after veteran Jim Cooley taught them about care and respect for the American Flag, as well as the meaning behind the Veteran’s Day Holiday. Later the scouts were able to watch and listen while Legion members practiced the 21-gun salute for their ceremony. “
