The compassionate, philanthropic and impressive women of the Mississippi State Society Daughters of the American Revolution will be hosting a lovely reception tomorrow, March 7, in honor of our brave Vietnam War Veterans.
Inside the stately War Memorial Building in downtown Jackson, all Vietnam Veterans are invited to mingle with Governor Phil Bryant, MSSDAR State Vice-Regent Cindy McNamara, speaker Lt. Col William Patrick, G.V. Montgomery dignitaries and Mayors of the Metro Jackson area.
DAR Member Bette Poole says, "Veterans will arrive to register and enjoy a buffet catered by Wendy Putt, Fresh Cut Catering & Floral. Guests will assemble in the auditorium for a patriotic program and patriotic music. Vietnam Veterans will be honored and thanked for their service."
The United States infantrymen in Vietnam saw a staggering average of 240 days of combat each year during the two-decade long war, fought from 1955 until 1975. 58,253 American soldiers were killed (including 636 Mississippians), and 153,363 were wounded.
Ten central Mississippi DAR chapters have come together to host this incredible event, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War, and the American Veterans who fought so selflessly and bravely. The ten Mississippi State Society chapters hosting the reception are Annandale, Chief Red Jacket, Doak's Treaty, Fort Rosalie, James Foster, LeFleur's Bluff, Magnolia State, Ralph Humphreys, Rebecca Cravat, and Walter Leake.
DAR is a service organization of dedicated women who promote Education, Patriotism and Historic Preservation. More than 930,000 women have joined DAR since its founding over 125 years ago! Mississippi boasts 3,000 of these members, in 79 chapters throughout the state. These outstanding women make a difference in their communities, our country, and around the world. One of DAR’s major focuses is servicing Veterans throughout the year.
