SynopsisA true story of courage and sacrifice, of Boy Scouts learning about perseverance, of the great men and women of the American space program, and the unquenchable spirit of a most remarkable American flag.'Members of troop 514, Monument, Colo., were overjoyed to learn their troop flag had been chosen to fly on the space shuttle Challenger. But joy turned to sorrow on Jan. 28, 1986, when the shuttled exploded just after liftoff, killing all seven astronauts aboard. Nine months later the flag was recovered undamaged from the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. It was later proclaimed the official flag of the U.S. Constitution Bicentennial. Threads of Honor: The True Story of a Boy Scout Troop, Perseverance, Triumph, and an American Flag is guaranteed to give you goose bumps.'-Boys' Life, September 2004
