STAR SPANGLED BANNER!
The War of 1812:
Two hundred and four years ago today patriot Francis Scott Key, an American lawyer on a prisoner exhange visit to a British ship, off from Fort McHenry, near Baltimore, looked landward to see that “OUR FLAG WAS STILL THERE!”
He wrote the poem describing that awesome battle, which became our National Anthem!

That Flag, our “Star Spangled Banner” had 15 stars then, and 15 stripes! After the Revolution we added the over-mountain county of Virginia called “Kentucky” and settled the border dispute adding the ‘colony’ of “Vermont” to make 15 United States of America. ... See MoreSee Less

Despatch from the Field - Mary Ball Chapter DAR - 7th instant. Holiday Inn Tacoma.
"I was privileged to attend the first regular DAR meeting of the season, with Regent Pam Gassman presiding. Great fun.
HIGHLIGHT of the meeting was a visit by His Excellency President Washington! He gave his thoughts on the difficulty of our new Thirteen States moving from a loose Confederation to a Constitutional Republic - all the disparate views, disagreements, the rancor, the regional & parochial prejudices that surround the deliberations.
We could not but think of such goings on without calling to mind the many disputes in our current Congress. (!)
If I may say, the General provoked much food for thought along with our luncheon.
[NOTE: Vern Frykholm of Sequim creates an outstanding persona of our First President. He is renowned for his portrayals and so was he today. He is an Honorary Member of our Washington SAR Color Guard as well.]

SOME EVENTS and activities were announced:
Sept 16 & 17 daily: Constitution Week at the State Fair - our joint DAR-SAR Booth opens. Volunteers needed.
Sept 17 (8pm) - Honor Flight Welcome Home, SeaTac Airport
Oct 13 (10am-2pm) - DAR Day Of Service cleaning CW Tombstones at the Old Tacoma Cemetery
Oct 21 (4-8pm) - Fundraiser at Joeseppi's for Wreaths Across America (DAR-SAR) at the Camp Lewis Cemetery Dec 15th.
And: GOLF BALLS! Registrar Ann Crawford is gathering and sending nearly 5,000 golf balls to the troops in Afghanistan where her son serves. They recreate (relieve stress) by driving the little white balls into the desert sand trap!
BLUE STAR & GOLD STAR Mothers were honored as well."
[The next DAR meeting is at Oakbrook Country Club]
