Anticipating my final two state visits, I boarded a plane in Denver headed for Pennsylvania’s state conference, Cyndy Sweeney, State Regent. It is always such a relief to be met in the baggage claim area by one of our young members dressed in white.Retrieving the luggage we began our trek to King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. It is adjacent to Valley Forge so we drove through this tranquil park with a stop at the Bell Tower to see all of the President General’s names etched in stone adjacent to the tower entrance. It was a vivid reminder of the National Society’s deep commitment to this historic site. On a peaceful rainy spring day it was hard to imagine the winter of 1778 when our Continental troops were forged into the battle capable men of the Revolution.
