Constitution Week is celebrated by the members of the DAR Chapter visiting the Veterans Memorial Park where many of our Revolutionary Patriots are remembered with plaques on the Walls of Honor.  Many of them sacrificed their lives and fortunes to gain our American Independence.  A plaque on the Walls of Honor is an excellent way to remember an ancestor, especially if he was buried in unmarked graves.  Pictured standing from the left are Johnnie Baldwin, Sherryll Miles, Donna Kemp, Linda Mears, Betty Morris, Susan Lenaeus, Marge Schulhof, Martha Stapler, Alice Robinson, Mike Patterson, and Tina Clune, (seated in front) Violette Denney, Joan Finch, and Kay Brown.
