Fall Forum 2016 Highlight

Medal of Honor Recipient at SCSDAR Fall Forum

Medal of Honor Recipient Major General James E. Livingston was the keynote speaker at SCSDAR Fall Forum Patriotic Education Dinner on August 26, 2016. He spoke on the Character Education program that the Medal of Honor Foundation will make available to any school interested. He also spoke about the National Medal of Honor Museum to be built at Patriot’s Point, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson shared with our group the story of General Livingston’s bravery and valor which earned him the Medal of Honor. All were greatly moved and many purchased General Livingston’s book which helps fund the Medal of Honor Museum. “Gracie and Lacy”, Emily and Lacy Miller, SCSDAR Junior members from the Rebecca Motte Chapter, performed their wonderful 1940’s music, dance, and comedy routine. South Carolina Society DAR State Regent Dianne Culbertson and the South Carolina Daughters are so excited to promote Education in the coming year as we Move Forward in Service to

America

under the capable leadership of our President General Ann Turner Dillon. Fall Forum attendees took up funds for the Louisiana flood victims and had record sales of President General’s Project merchandise and Junior Sales for the Helen Pouch Memorial Fund.
