OUR PATRIOTS
|
At the end of each of our Chapter meetings, we stand in honor of our Patriot and say his or her name and identify the state where he or she served. So why is it that we have this ritual?
While every chapter has its own take on the opening and closing ceremonies for their chapter meetings, every once in awhile you come across something that sparks an idea for your own chapter. In 2005 while attending a Board of Management meeting, two members of our Tualatin Chapter, NSDAR, heard about a chapter that was acknowledging their patriots at each of the chapter meetings. Thinking that this ritual would be a great idea to remind ourselves of why we are members of DAR and encourage members to know their patriots' names and sates, they brought the information back to the chapter. The chapter members then came up with what we now call “I Stand In Honor” which we do at the end of every chapter meeting. Just before the meeting is adjourned, we all stand and, one after the other, we say “I stand in honor of my patriot (stating his/her full name and sometimes rank in the military) from (stating his/her state of service)”. This ritual helps us to honor our patriots service during the Revolutionary War and the beginnings of our country. With the America 250! Committee promoting the upcoming celebration of our country’s founding, standing in honor takes on even more meaning and ties in perfectly with the mission of NSDAR. |
