The SAR should be the Johnny Appleseed of the American Revolution. We should drop seeds every place we go— seeds that honor the heroes and events of the American Revolution. Memorials, markers and monuments are some of the seeds that SAR state societies and chapters can plant all over the country. From July 11, 2013, through July 15, 2014, every state society and chapter that erected a perma- nent memorial, a marker or a monument to honor a person, place, event or document associated with the American Revolution was awarded an NSSAR streamer. If multiple state societies and/or chapters collaborated on a single memorial, marker or monument, each state society and/or chapter that collaborated was awarded a streamer. All the state societies and chapters listed on the next page are to be commended for honoring heroes and events of the American Revolution. Consistent with this PG Initiative as outlined by PG Dooley, the Historic Sites and Celebrations Committee has determined that the North Carolina Society should be awarded $1,000 for the memori- al to Free Patriots of Color in Havelock, N.C.; the Captain Zeally Moss Chapter of the Illinois Society should be awarded $500 for the marker placed on the grave of its namesake Captain Zeally Moss in Peoria, Ill.; and that $300 should be divided evenly among the Altamaha and Marshes of Glynn Chapters of the Georgia Society and the Gainesville Chapter of the Florida Society for the marker placed on the grave of Jacob Highsmith in Waynesville, Ga. PG Dooley thanks Mark Anthony for his work on this PG Initiative. 2013-14 President General Initiative No. 2 George Washington Portrait Program Partnering with the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association (Opportunity for State Societies and Chapters) From July 11, 2013, through July 15, 2014, every state society or chapter that coordinated with an elementary school, a middle school or a high school to hang a portrait of George Washington in the school, as part of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association's George Washington Portrait Program, was awarded an NSSAR streamer. For each portrait, a state society or chapter must also have remitted a contribution of $250 to the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. PG Dooley thanks Colleen Wilson for her work on this PG Initiative.
