135th Congress App Launched and Evening Ceremony Awardees Announced!

The 135th Continental Congress is fast approaching, and I am delighted to share more updates about our upcoming annual conference with you today.

The Congress App
The 135th Continental Congress App is now available! For those travelling to Washington, DC later this month, please download the Congress App to your smartphone or tablet to have the most up-to-date Congress information at your fingertips. To download the Congress App, search the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play Store (Android) for “DAR Continental Congress” and download the App. If you already have the App downloaded on your device from last year, when you open it, select the 135th Congress version.

From the App, you can access the overall Congress Schedule, maps and important information. Member attendees will be able to log in with your Congress Registration information to set up your personal profile, personal Congress schedule, and connect with other attendees.

Continental Congress Honorees 
As we celebrate the 250^th Anniversary of our nation’s founding, we will have special presentations and honor some wonderful award recipients at this year’s Continental Congress Opening Night. Special recognition will be paid to The American Revolution documentary from the filmmaking team of Ken Burns, Sarah Bottstein, and David Schmidt. An expansive look at the virtues and contradictions of the war and the birth of the United States of America, the film follows dozens of figures from a wide variety of backgrounds. Through their individual stories, viewers experience the war through the memories of the men and women who experienced it. Additionally, Ken Burns will be recognized with the DAR Medal of Honor for his decades of work telling stories of America’s history.
