The Towamencin Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) has been busy in November with Veterans Day activities and presentations of awards in recognition of community service.
At the chapter meeting Nov. 11, Col. Angela M. Polsinelli presented "Following the Flightpath of Progress,” in celebration of Veterans Day.
The program described how the rights of women in the Air Force have changed over the past 20 years, covering female pioneers in aviation, how they proved themselves in combat, how the Air Force has made great strides to retain female pilots and how women continue breaking barriers.
Col. Polsinelli is Deputy Commander at 621st Contingency Response Group, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ. She and her family reside in Lansdale.
The chapter presented community service awards to the following individuals:
The Towamencin Chapter also delivered seven dozen donuts to residents at Southeast Veterans Center in Spring City, created 15 "Boodle Boxes” of goodies and necessities for soldiers currently deployed in the field and mailed more than 250 cards to veterans for the holidays.
Resident veterans were treated to the refreshments for their afternoon social in honor of Veterans Day and thanked for their service to our country. SEVC provides living space and health and social services to Veterans along with recreational and leisure activities.
The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is a non-political service organization that promotes historic preservation, education and patriotism, and is open to any woman 18 years or older who can prove lineal, bloodline descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence.
