Events

The mission of these events is to reach out to Vietnam Veterans and bring them in to discuss Agent Orange and ways the Veterans Services can support these veterans.

Recognize Vietnam Veterans as they attend zoo exhibits

This is the Annual American Gold Star Mothers Convention to honor all Gold Star Mothers, in particular mothers whose sons were killed in Vietnam. Certificates will be presented along with Gold Star pins.

Celebrate America Night will be an interactive, educational and fun opportunity for attendees to engage with fellow members. The free event, to be held at the Grand Hyatt on Friday night from 7–10 p.m., will allow attendees to learn more about topics important to DAR members and introduce them to opportunities to become more involved in the National Society, in addition to other service organizations. DAR would like to have the Vietnam War Commemoration come to the event and have a booth to tell our members about the organization and about becoming a commemorative partner.

Samuel Johnston Chapter Members are encouraged to knit and crochet warm scarves for the annual "Knit Your Bit" campaign that is sponsored by the National WW 2 Museum in New Orleans. Chapter members donated 24 hand-made scarves which are given to elderly and hospitalized veterans in VA facilities nationwide. Many are veterans of the Vietnam War. This is a year-round project for several of our Chapter members.

Special Recognition service to 26 men and women who serviced in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.
