Wake Forest’s General James Moore Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution has been selected by the national 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War Committee to serve as the local group to coordinate celebrations promoting this celebration. The group has agreed to conduct at least two activities in the three years 2015-2017 that will recognize the valor, service and sacrifice of those who participated in the Vietnam War.
The first of this year’s celebration was held Saturday, March 28, at the historic birthplace of Wake Forest University located on North Main Street, the Wake Forest Historical Museum. In addition to the members of the DAR, several ladies associated with the museum were on hand to assist celebrate the occasion.
Local Vietnam Veterans and their spouses were treated to an afternoon reception. After consuming the light treats and punch each veteran received a commemorative certificate distinguishing their participation by the DAR. Attending the reception were Jim Reeves, Greg Harrington, David Martin, Joe DeLois, Eugene Ressegiue, Howard Lowdermilk, Don Kroohs, Rich Heroux and Brian Hopf. Other activities will be planned and carried out later in the year.
