President’s Message
Dear Compatriots,
It was great to see many of you at our October dinner meeting as we heard from compatriot Al Rattan on his research approach obtaining patriot ancestor information as well as his authorship relative to that process. During our November dinner meeting we will meet and greet President Abraham Lincoln, portrayed by film and television actor and professional re-enactor Robert Broski. I hope you will join us at that last dinner meeting of 2026.
November 11th is Veterans Day, which is set aside to thank and honor all those who served honorably in the military although largely intended to thank living veterans for their service. Please join me in honoring those who have served.
Also remember Wreaths Across America is coming up in December. I encourage you to participate in the program, whether that be through the donation of one or more wreaths and/or placing those wreaths on the graves of veterans. Remember the fallen. Honor those who serve. Our color guard will be at El Toro Memorial Park on Saturday, December 19th. You can sponsor one or more
wreaths through the website wreathsacrossamerica.org.
As always, thank you all for your patriotism and your membership in the SAR. Please know you and your membership are important to us.
Please remember we will not have a December dinner meeting. In patriotism,
Barry Michaels
