November 25, 2010 Email Troop 21 Alumni and Other Scouts,
Many people have asked for an update on Charles Barr (Troop 21 Eagle Scout #172) who was shot by a sniper in Iraq this spring. His father reports that Charles returned back stateside in October. He is currently home on leave and is deer hunting here in Sumter County over Thanksgiving. He will return to Fort Stewart, Georgia, until February, 2011, when he will report to Fort Benning, Georgia, for 3 years. His health is improving and he hopes that the time at Fort Benning will allow his lung to finish the healing process.
Photos from the spring incident are on the Troop 21 website at http://www.bsagat21.com/
