State Regent Debbie Duay presented the Founders Medal to 2nd Vice Regent Elaine Powell at our November 2021 meeting. “The Ellen Hardin Walworth Medal for Patriotism — Honors an adult (21 years of age and over) who has displayed outstanding patriotism in the promotion of our American ideals of “God, Home, and Country” through faithful and meritorious service to community, state or nation. Examples include, participation in church, scouting, conservation, hereditary, historical, genealogical or organized sports. In addition, one who has performed outstanding service as a member of the military, religious or business community may be considered for this award. Their deed, service or educational pursuit must go beyond their employment obligations or normal duties. DAR members may not be considered for these medals if related to DAR activities.” Thanks to my DAR Chapter and to Honorary Regent Ann Maner, chair of the Community Service Awards, for nominating me for this award.

The October Roundhouse meeting was enjoyed by all when we played a fun game, had a costume contest, and also heard our very informative and passionate speaker Jean Vasicek from the Winter Park Honey Company. She talked about the importance of bees and the health benefits of honey.

All of these revolutionary war patriots are buried in this graveyard in Kingston, NY. I took a photo at 6 of the graves!
Karen Miles-Miller stated: “Had a very American 4th of July! Visited Ft. Montgomery, NY on the Hudson River & had a great costumed interpreter & also saw a 6 pound cannon firing & a musket firing. Then we traveled to Von Stuben’s headquarters. He whipped the Continental Army into shape! By the way, the musket weighs about 20 pounds!! Can’t imagine marching with it or running with it!”
On July 15 Karen said: “Early morning walk in Mystic, CT & came upon this tiny graveyard with lots of American Revolutionary War veterans! Many of the grave markers were legible!”
