For those unfamiliar with the Daughters of the American Revolution, it was founded in 1890 with the mission of promoting historic preservation, education and patriotism. This non-profit, non-political volunteer women’s service organization has many projects throughout the year, many that benefit men and women currently serving in the military.
Working with officials at the Guinness Book of World Records, the National DAR is asking for the letters to be brought by members to the NSDAR 125th Continental Congress in late June.
Young stated, “One of the most rewarding aspects of DAR membership is the ability to express our love of country through our support of America’s Armed Forces.”

She has asked all DAR members, along with anyone who would like to participate, to write a letter to help them with their goal of 10,000.
According Opal Grueser, president of the Return Johnathan Meigs DAR, letters or cards may be given to any DAR member, and if you don’t know a member, she asked that you call her at 740-992-3301. The Chapter will be happy to arrange to pick up your card or letter, or assistance any way they can.
