DAR Chapter Remembers Our Veterans

Let's Not Forget Those Who Served

At a recent Meeting, Trumbull-Porter Chapter members signed Christmas cards for the Veterans at the West Haven VA Medical Center. It is our privilege and duty to be mindful of these men and women who served our country. It’s important to let them know they are not forgotten – especially at this time of year.

DAR members come from a variety of backgrounds and interests, but all share a common bond of having an ancestor who helped contribute to securing the independence of the United States of America. Any woman 18 years or older regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a Patriot of the American Revolution is eligible to join.
