Ft.
GreeneVille DAR busy this Holiday Season
Fort GreeneVille Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) recently
had a Christmas wreath dedication at the Darke County Veterans Memorial
marker at the Darke County Courthouse. The wreath is in honor of all
Darke County Veterans and active duty military.
Another wreath sponsored by Fort GreeneVille DAR will be dedicated on
December 16 for Zachary Lansdowne at Arlington Cemetery in Washington
DC. The wreath is part of the Wreaths Across America Program. Lansdowne
was a US Navy Lieutenant Commander who was killed in the crash of the
USS Shenandoah.
Fort GreeneVille DAR has also donated $200 to Greenville native Kenton
Stacy. U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Stacy is at a hospital in San
Antonio, Texas, after he was struck by an IED while clearing a hospital
in Syria. He was severely injured while assigned to the Operation
Inherent Resolve campaign against ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
Members also decorated Christmas trees in the Garst Museum military
room and the Shawnee Prairie Preserve and Nature Center. Besides the
tree decorating, members volunteered at the Darke County Parks' 10th
Annual Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland event.
Wrapping up the holiday season, the chapter had its annual Christmas
Luncheon at the St. Clair Manor. Following the luncheon, members went
to Montage with mitten donations for the FISH mitten tree.
Fort GreeneVille Chapter DAR would like to wish everyone a Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year.
