The James Thomas Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) observed National Library Lovers Month in February by expressing gratitude to librarian Pam Metts, who is also a DAR member, and her staff at the John L. Street Library. The chapter presented a box of treats in recognition of their dedicated community service and extended a special thank you for the wide variety of resources, programs, and activities the library provides for all ages..

On February 14, our chapter gathered for our monthly meeting, and we were honored to welcome an inspirational guest speaker — Mr. Donnie Pogue, proud member of the Kentucky Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.

Mr. Pogue shared the remarkable journey of documenting his family’s legacy, including the process behind writing two books that preserve his ancestral history. He spoke about his patriot ancestors, his own military service, and his time supporting Fort Campbell as a civilian — a powerful reminder of how service and heritage often walk hand‑in‑hand.

We also learned about the genealogy resources available at the John L. Street Library, including tools and collections that can help anyone researching their lineage or working to verify a patriot ancestor. It was an inspiring and educational session that left us all motivated to continue preserving our own family stories.

Thank you to everyone who attended, and a special thank‑you to Mr. Pogue for sharing his passion, knowledge, and dedication to honoring our nation’s history.

Our October meeting was a beacon of hope, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, humanity shines bright! Karle Johnson of the KY VFW inspired us with the rich history of the VFW and its selfless mission to uplift our brave veterans.
