In Rememberance of Daniel L. Beer

The Members and Committee of Troop 26, Heidelberg, Germany are sad to announce that for the second time in the last 13 months, our Troop has lost an extraordinary scout.

Saturday, 30 March 1996, marks the passing of a model scout. Dan was a Life Scout with Troop 26 in Heidelberg, Germany. He was well on his way to accomplishing Eagle when he was diagnosed with Leukemia. Dan was scheduled to go camping with the troop the day he received the news.

Dan received the best of care. He was the son of a career Army Officer. Within hours of the diagnosis, he was evacuated to Walter Reed Medical Center. Dan enjoyed a brief period of remission and during this time, he completed the merit badges required for Eagle and was working on his Eagle project when he suffered a relapse.

Death came swiftly and peacefully for Dan. We miss you and wish you could be back with Troop 26. We know you and David McKee are in a better place.

Daniel L. Beer - May 26, 1981 - March 30, 1996. Doing his Duty to God.
