A new member wasted no time organizing and designing a float for this year's parade season. She asked the local North Union High School art students to design a center mural that was 4 foot by 6 foot, to be used as a focal point for the float. A Revolutionary Soldier with a canon holding a flag was this year’s inspiration. The float carried a homemade cannon equipped with canon balls and tombstones of the chapter patriots. A DAR commemorative grave stake holding a Betsy Ross flag was placed at the site of the graves. A sign listing all chapter patriots was aboard the float. This way the chapter was able to honor all member’s patriots, helping to inspire patriot legacies and getting the community excited about celebrating the upcoming semiquincentennial in 2026. The float made its debut after a lengthy rain delay on June 24 at the Swea City Fun Days in Swea City, Iowa. The next parade was in Armstrong, Iowa on July 4th, where the float won second place in the Organization category. The chapter celebrated by winning $100.
A total of 826 Betsy Ross flags were handed out during the two parades and was the first time in the community's history that DAR was represented.

On behalf of Anna Maria Lane NSDAR, Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

General Washington’s St. Patrick’s Day 1780 Proclamation on March 16, 1780, announced a holiday for the troops – the only day off they had that winter – was a pragmatic stratagem. A little merriment could go a long way. The ordered read as:

“The general congratulates the army on the very interesting proceedings of the parliament of Ireland and the inhabitants of that country which have been lately communicated; not only as they appear calculated to remove those heavy and tyrannical oppressions on their trade but to restore to a brave and generous people their ancient rights and freedom and by their operations to promote the cause of America. Desirous of impressing upon the minds of the army, transactions so important in their nature, the general directs that all fatigue and working parties cease for tomorrow the seventeenth, a day held in particular regard by the people of the nation.”

The greatest dream of our Founding Fathers, including Washington, came true because of what the most forgotten players of the American Revolution accomplished both on and off the battlefield. The Irish made far more than just disproportionate battlefield contributions. Eight signers of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, were foreign-born, more from Ireland than any other country.

Erin go Bragh means Ireland till the end of time.
