Polly Cooper Chapter Marches in 2023 New Castle Memorial Day Parade

Polly Cooper Chapter joined veterans and community members as they marched in the New Castle Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 29, to remember those who gave their lives in military service to our country. Chapter members handed out U.S. Flags along the parade route filled with spectators.

“It was a privilege to participate in the parade.” said Polly Cooper Chapter Regent Rosemarie Schmidt, “I was touched by the number of people, especially the young children enthusiastically waving flags and honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today. It is inspiring to see our youth learning about the contributions of these fallen heroes.”

Polly Cooper Chapter, NSDAR was established in Chappaqua, New York, and our service projects have supported education and literacy, historic preservation, conservation, veterans and active-duty service personnel, genealogy research, naturalization ceremonies for new citizens, and more. Our members live throughout Northern Westchester County and beyond. Now is a great time to discover if you have an American Revolutionary ancestor as our nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026.

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR), a non-profit, non-political women’s service organization, was founded in 1890 to preserve the memory and spirit of those who contributed to securing American independence.
