El Redondo Chapter honors the brave service members for their sacrifices.

“On June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline, to fight N**i Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which, “we will accept nothing less than full victory.” More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end, the Allies gained a foot-hold in Continental Europe. The cost in lives on D-Day was high. More than 9,000 Allied Soldiers were killed or wounded, but their sacrifice allowed more than 100,000 Soldiers to begin the slow, hard slog across Europe, to defeat Adolf Hitler’s crack troops.” https://www.army.mil/d-day/index.html

On this day in 1919, Congress took a monumental step forward for American democracy — approving the 19th Amendment and sending it to the states for ratification. After more than 70 years of tireless activism, marches, petitions, and sacrifice, women were finally on the threshold of securing their constitutional right to vote. The amendment was ratified just over a year later, on August 18, 1920, forever changing the fabric of American civic life. As members of the Daughters of the American Revolution, we honor the women who fought for this hard-won right and recommit ourselves to the principles of patriotism, service, and citizenship they championed. 🗳️🇺🇸

🪶 Today we recognize American Indian Citizenship Day. On June 2, 1924 — 102 years ago today — President Calvin Coolidge signed the Indian Citizenship Act into law, marking the end of a long debate and struggle over full birthright citizenship for American Indians. While the 14th Amendment had granted citizenship to all other persons born in the United States, Native Americans had been excluded — their citizenship status determined irregularly depending on descent, gender, marital status, and relationship to their tribal nations. The Act also made clear that the granting of citizenship would not diminish any Native American’s right to tribal property or sovereignty. It was enacted in part as recognition of the thousands of Native Americans who had served in the armed forces during World War I.

El Redondo Chapter, NSDAR, and the DAR honor this milestone through the work of the Americanism Committee and the American Indian Committee, both committed to preserving the history, rights, and contributions of all who have helped shape this nation. As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, we reflect on the ongoing journey toward the founding ideals of liberty and justice for all. 🇺🇸
