Huntington DAR Sends Care Packages to Troops

On Saturday, October 19th, Ketewamoke Chapter, NSDAR assembled and shipped 24 care packages for service members deployed to the Middle East and military patients being treated at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. The packages, containing personal care and comfort items, food, and notes of support and appreciation from chapter members, is one of many ways that the DAR chapter serves our military and veterans.

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, a women’s service organization founded in 1890, has sent thousands of care packages, and has a committee, Project Patriot, dedicated to supporting America’s military service members and their families. Members of the DAR share a common connection; all descend from men and women who supported the cause of American Independence during the Revolutionary War. Over 1 million women have been admitted to membership since the organization’s founding 129 years ago.
