Patriotism Week August 2008

Patriotism Week  August 2008

Once again members of the Captain John Collins Chapter, in conjunction with the Sons of Liberty Chapter, took  the lessons of patriotism to our local high schools.  In the past five years it is estimated that approximately 20,000 students have been  reached through assemblies conducted in 22 area high schools. 

  • JROTC units presented the colors.
  • SAR's spoke of honoring the American Flag and Anthem
  • Francis Scott Key spoke to students of his night on the ship "Surprise"
  • Students at each school sang the Star Spangled Banner acapella, as a duet, or as a chorus.

Photos from each of the 2008 assemblies can be viewed and downloaded at this link.  CLICK HERE

The script of the entire program is on this site for any chapter's use.
