I present a program to entertain and educate others about our country's heritage through flags... the presentation is called "Flags Over America!" I have given this program at a TSGS meeting several years ago. Below I am posing for a photo in front of part of the flags dressed in my Revolutionary War State Militia uniform. I give the program as part of the Ohio Valley Chapter Sons of the American Revolution Speakers Bureau. This time I had been invited to return for an encore performance for the DAR/SAR Annual Dinner Meeting in Hopkinsville, KY at the beautiful Oakland Manor.
Becky West generally assists me in holding flags for everyone to see. She dresses in typical Colonial women's attire. My volunteer photographer, Chad Word, caught Becky relaxing before the meeting began.
Becky & I just beginning the program in above photo. Below we are nearing the end of the program showing one of my favorite militia flags known as the Guilford Courthouse Flag. I had 25-3X5 foot flags on poles for display and to talk about. This is a modified shorter version of "Flags Over America!"
In the above photo you can see most of the flags on display. My 4th. cousin Tommy Henderson is seated in lower far right corner in red knit shirt. Below Tommy is giving an SAR report during the business meeting.
Becky & I had a great time. I always put in plugs for the Tri-State Genealogical Society, as well as, Willard Library. Special thanks to my set-up & take-down team of Tommy Henderson, Eddie Deason, Becky West and Chad Word.
