Today's DAR
Can anyone NOT look forward to National Defense Night? This evening’s National Defense Night program will be moving and thought provoking, especially the keynote remarks of Lieutenant General Robert P. Ashley, Jr., Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. It is an evening dedicated to the men and women who protect our national interests and security, and I hope that you will join us. Learn more about this evening’s ceremony here.

We will also acknowledge the DAR Service to America National Project from Home, which so many of you brought to life. Our fellow Daughters voluntarily stepped forward in a positive act of patriotism to sew and donate more than 500,000 pieces of Personal Protective Equipment during the pandemic. I am immensely proud of these women – and grateful for their generous spirit, which so beautifully captures the true meaning of membership in our giving Society.
It has been heart-warming to see so many of you tuning into the sessions that enable this unique ‘virtual’ Congress experience. I will be reporting the total participation during a live report to conclude our Congress on Sunday – let us hope to set records for involvement from members around the world. Remind others that they may join us—no registration is necessary. It’s a great way to introduce that hesitant family member to the purpose of our work – witnessing the work of our Society at Congress often hooks them!
I hope that you were inspired by the reports of our State Regents last evening. I know that I certainly was! Due to technical difficulties, Illinois State Regent, Sharla Luken’s report was cut short. Please view Mrs. Luken’s full report here: https://youtu.be/9gJ-k_BDxPk.
