Chapter President presents our Past Sargent-at-Arms, Gary Newton, with the Meritorious Service Certificate and medal. This is the highest award a Chapter can award to a member.
Jim McAdory present Jenn Halter with the SAR Continental Congress Medal for her leadership in our September program in Balboa Park. Medals will also be presented to three additional DAR members in the future.
CASSAR President, Don Littlefield, assisted by SDSAR President, Jim McAdory, prepare for the Patriot Grave Marking awards.
The San Diego Chapter present President Littlefield with a declaration of appreciation for his leadership and assistance in the Patriot Grave Marking project.
Those receiving the Patriot Grave Marking award, we think this is the largest number of recipients of this award at a single time in SAR history and likely the largest number of Patriot graves commemorated in a single day. In all, 41 members earned the PGM in one day.
