DAR Project Patriot Committee
Teri Miller, Chairman
The DAR Project Patriot
Committee supports America’s actively serving
military personnel and their families. Actively
serving military includes active-duty,
reservists and National Guard troops. Today,
with military troops serving in the United
States
and overseas, DAR members can illuminate their
love and support to the military community by
continuing to serve these actively serving men
and women following in the footsteps of those
who achieved our nation’s independence by
providing
comfort items from “home.”
At the national level, DAR support is focused
on these seven groups:
- Landstuhl Regional Medical Center,
Landstuhl, Germany
- Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio,
Texas
- Walter Reed National Military Medical
Center, Bethesda, Maryland
- Mobilization Training Site Camp at Camp
Atterbury, Indiana
- Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California
- Fort Belvoir, Virginia
- Units Overseas
Additional projects promoted by
this committee are:
- Contact national vice chairs from each
location above for information about
volunteering or ways to support the mission.
- DAR Women Supporting Women in Military
Service
- Support Military Children especially during
Month of the Military Child each April.
- Support Military Spouses on Military Spouse
Appreciation Day each May.
- Reach out to military units via Soldier

Contacts to support a project or initiative.
- Reach out to USO facilities in your area to

- Members are encouraged to join in the Wear
RED Movement, which asks Americans to show
solidarity and support for our deployed
service members until they return safely home
to their families. By wearing red every
Friday, it shows that they “Remember Everyone
Deployed.”
