On Saturday, November 11th, Chapter members manned a booth in front of the House of USA and participated in the afternoon Lawn Stage program that honored our veterans. Members present were Michael Hirman, Rob Welch, Jim McAdory, Duncan and Carolyn Campbell. In addition our Compatriot, Ted Parsons manned the booth next to us for the Military Order of World Wars that co-sponsored the program along with the House of USA. Ted also emceed the afternoon’s program.
Our Color Guard presented the Colors and Chapter members Duncan Campbell and Rob Welch were to speak on their military service however Rob changed his talk to honor his daughter’s military 20+ year Naval career.
New in our booth was a “traveling chest” filled with everyday common materials used by our patriot ancestors in their day to day activities. Each item has a 3×5 card for the presenter which explains what it is and how it was used. These items are great to engage the public and draw interest.
