Squinting in the late afternoon sun, the sandy blond 10-year-old from Dormont's Boy Scout Troop 23 was hunting for "eagles and shields" -- signs that he was standing near the final resting place of a veteran.
"There we go," he said, pulling an American flag from several clutched in his hand. "We finally found one."
