Three St. Augustine residents were recently recognized for their patriotic undertaking in placing a U.S. flag and flag pole in their community.
Patricia E. Wood, Patricia D. Swartwood and Valerie A. Reich were presented the Sons of the American Revolution’s (SAR) Bonze Good Citizenship medal and certificate for their efforts at The Cottages of Winding Creek.
The Bronze Good Citizenship Medal is presented to individuals who achievements are noteworthy in their community or state. The award was made by the St. Augustine Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution at a ceremony Aug. 4. The presentation citation was read by Dr. Oscar Patterson III, chapter president, and the medals were presented by William A. Roberts, past chapter president. Also in attendance were Janet Messer, vice president of the association and many neighbors and friends.
The SAR is an historical, educational and patriotic society which seeks to maintain and expand the meaning of patriotism, respect for our national symbols, the value of American citizenship and the unifying force of e pluribus unum that has created from the people of many nations one nation and one people.
The St. Augustine Chapter SAR meets at 11 a.m. the third Saturday of each month September through May at the Le Pavillon. For membership information go to firstname.lastname@example.org.
