David Tiffany,

16, decided to spruce up the American Legion Post House in Fayetteville

to earn his Eagle Scout Award.

With the help

of as many as 15 other Boy Scouts from Troop 276 in Peachtree City, landscaping

took place by planting hedges all around the building, and a flag pole

was erected out front.

The American

Legion building was a W.P.A. project in 1936 and is the only project of

its kind in Fayette County.

John Dufresne

serves as commander of Post 105 and said that electrical, heating and

air, and plumbing upgrades are underway in the building.

"We were

glad to have David take care of the landscaping and erecting the flag

pole," said Dufresne. "We were happy to purchase the shrubbery,

the city of Fayetteville provided the trees and dug the holes, Andy's

Nursery planted the trees and Walker Concrete poured the base for the

flag pole. We are very grateful to everyone who helped in the project."

Both of David's

grandfathers served in World War II. Dufresne is an Army veteran who served

in Vietnam. Jerry Stoner, a veteran of the Army Air Corps in World War

II, is the project manager for the post and was in charge of overseeing

the Scout project.
