The Lawrence Kearny Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution presented a Flag Folding Ceremony to veterans at the Windsor senior care facility in Cape Coral on Veterans’ Day.

The Lawrence Kearny Chapter also had DAR Certificate for Military Service for each of the 16 veterans living at the center. They had provided American Flag lapel pins and The Flag Code booklet for the Center’s “gift bags”.

Many stories were told by the veterans of their years in service to their country: Stations in Korea, Japan; Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Cost Guard; nurses, military police, helicopter pilots, aboard submarines. There was one thing in common: they were all proud of their service experiences.

The DAR’s objectives of Patriotism, Historic Preservation and Education hold a special meaning on Veterans’ Day. The DAR thanks the veterans and their families for giving us the freedom we often take for granted in today’s busy world.
