Flag speech
presented to
DAR members
By DORIS C. LONGLEY
Publicity Chairman
The Culpeper Minutemen Chapter N.S.D.A.R. met on Saturday, June 13, 1987, for luncheon at the Malvern Clubhouse, Mrs. Douglas Fairfax, Regent, presiding.
Mrs. Stephen Hunter spoke on The Flag of the United States of < America. The history of the Stars 1 and Stripes is the history of our nation: it symbolizes not only the ideals, traditions, and free institutions of our Republic, but also the expansion and territorial development of our United States. The thirteen original stars have grown in number to fifty—the union of our fifty states held together by the bond of our national government—while the thirteen stripes preserve the traditions and ideals of the thirteen colonies or original states which so nobly laid the foundations of this great independent nation. The Constitution is the source of our flag.
Mrs. Dale James Metzinger, Membership Chairman, introduced and welcome three new members, Patricia Ballard, Grace Kilby and Ansley Wilson. And presented them with information on the D.A.R. The Culpeper Minutemen Chapter D. A.R. now has 103 members.
