Our Color Guard Commander, Duncan Campbell, was presented with the DAR Hanna White Arnett Bronze Metal of Distinction for his work supporting the local DAR chapters. The Hanna White medal is given to active SAR members.
Compatriot Campbell gave a presentation on the events leading up to the Boston Tea Party for the DAR District XIV conference on the 18th of October.
Hannah White Arnett (1733-1823) was an American woman who is known for preventing a group of men in Elizabethtown (now Elizbeth), Providence of New Jersey from proclaiming their loyalty to Great Britain in exchange for “protection of life and Property.” When she heard the men, meeting in her house, talking about this offer, she called them Coward and Traitors. The men eventually refused the offer of the British.
