A Time to Remember
 This
was a detail I had not expected to find! As you can see, the marker
reads "Daughters of the American Revolution."
I am familiar with this organization, but
was curious to know more about the "DAR". I immediately
found their website (www.dar.org).
It is definitely worth checking out!
The DAR was established in 1890. The
DAR is headquartered in Washington D.C. and has a museum, boasts some
wonderful educational programs and other details of interest. |
 I
stumbled across another fascinating find!
John Dudley, Sr." was born in 1758
and served in the Revolutionary War.
The plaque was placed by the Fort Payne,
Illinois chapter of the DAR. For those not familiar with Illinois
history, Fort Payne was a military fort located in Chicago.
You can find out more about Chicago history
by visiting the Chicago Historical Society at www.chicagohs.org
or www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org,
their on-line encyclopedia. |
 Another
marvelous detail!
Mina Ruth was a World War II veteran.
She was a nurse. Her brother was also served in the war, but sadly
was killed in combat.
The vividly blue flag with yellow caught my
eye from across the cemetery. The flag reads "Ladies
Auxiliary/Veterans of Foreign Wars."
I visited the Ladies Auxiliary (VFW) at www.ladiesauxvfw.com.
Their national headquarters is located in Kansas City, Missouri. A
museum is located on the 4th floor, and the organization has been tracking
women veteran history since September 14, 1914. |
