For this week’s #tbt PS Inspiring Story, we’re featuring the soldiers of the 45th Infantry Regiment (PS) circa 1932-33. The commander of the regiment, Col. Ralph McCoy, inspects a Scout company in Mindanao. The Muslim soldiers wore the “tubau” instead of the campaign hat so that they can touch their forehead to the ground while praying. Don’t miss our 31st Reunion, April 24 & 25 on The Queen Mary, Long Beach, CA. Register today at: www.philippine-scouts.org/uploads/31st-Reunion/2015_PSHS_Reunion_Registration_Form.pdf
