As I sit and listen to the news on T.V. today I often think about our
forefathers and the sacrifices our descendents have made for us, yes for
us. For me and you. Our freedoms are great in this country. I
don't like politics nor do I rarely talk about politics but unfortunately I see
our freedoms dwindling slowly.
Bake sales being banned in Massachusetts,
talk about forcing people to show ID when buying soda. I get very
frustrated about all of these new laws being passed and I think "What did
our ancestors fight and die for?"
As I was looking on the internet about some of these issues I came across an
organization call "Daughters of The American Revolution". I had
never heard about this organization and thought I would share it with my
followers.
This is a member only organization that is for daughters of descendents of
ancestors that fought for our freedoms in the American Revolution. They
have great functions and support great organizations. Below is a link
about them and how to qualify to become a member.
It is shortened by DAR. As I was reading about them I realized that
they have different roles for different members. One of the roles is to
be a PAGE. A PAGE is a member of DAR that is designated to serve and help
out during meetings, dinners and other functions. PAGES have certain
attire they must wear to these functions so that they stand out among the other
members. They must wear all white dresses to these functions. I thought
that was a different concept until I started thinking about what white stands
for, PURITY. What an honor to be considered the purest of the
group. White attire can be beautiful yet pure. A few examples of
appropriate White Attire for the PAGES are:

My support of DAR is great and in the future I will keep my eye out for
appropriate attire for a PAGE.
On this upcoming Mothers’ Day holiday I want to thank ALL Members of DAR and
thank their forefathers for fighting for OUR FREEDOM.
Happy Mothers’ Day
