Ladies of the Lake Chapter, NSDAR, members dressed as Betsy Ross at a Veteran’s Day Parade as well as others, and gave character presentations. Members attended meetings with a veterans theme, placed flags for Memorial Day celebrations, cleaned veterans’ gravestones, laid wreaths on Memorial Day from the chapter, and participated in Wreaths Across America, both in laying and purchasing wreaths. They made Valentine bags with flags, flag pins, homemade patriotic pillowcases, and candy and gave them to veterans in local nursing homes. They “pinned” Vietnam veterans with special commemorative pins, wrote out Christmas cards, assisted another chapter with a pillowcase project for veterans, and made displays for public places. Several members of the chapter are also members of other lineage societies, such as the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) Auxiliary promoting Civil War preservation.
