The Ypsilanti and Sarah Caswell Angell Chapters (NSDAR), together with the Huron Valley Chapter (NSSAR) hosted a Marker Dedication Ceremony at Bridgewater Center Cemetery on October 11 honoring American Revolutionary War Patriot, Ebenezer Annable. The event was part of a nationwide initiative by DAR and SAR Chapters to recognize Revolutionary War patriots ahead of the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the United States (American 250). These ceremonies celebrate the men and women whose courage and sacrifice secured our nation’s independence and ensure their legacies continue to inspire future generations.
October 11 also holds special meaning for DAR members nationwide. It marks the founding of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution in 1890, and is observed each year as the DAR National Day of Service, a time when members across the country give back to their communities in honor of the organization’s mission of historic preservation, education, and patriotism. Elizabeth Heller, Regent of the Ypsilanti Chapter and event coordinator, expressed gratitude for the community’s participation: “It was truly moving to see so many local organizations and residents come together to honor one of the earliest patriots whose service help shape the freedoms we enjoy today.”…
