Princeton DAR becomes commemorative partner

Chapter needs help collecting names

PRINCETON — The Princeton-Illinois chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution has become a commemorative partner with the U.S. Vietnam War 50th Anniversary Commemoration.

The main objective of the commemorative partnership is to assist and support a grateful nation in thanking and honoring our Vietnam War veterans, their families, or in support of the Armed Forces.

The chapter is trying to locate all veterans who served during this period whether in Vietnam or elsewhere. The local DAR chapter serves Bureau, Putnam and Marshall counties and they need your help as the Illinois State DAR is making a roster of as many veterans they can find who are alive or have deceased. Contact Beverly Larson, chairman, at 815-875-4127 with information.
