Preston Memorial Campaign Needs Your Help!
Some checks and pledges have been received from chapter members to help meet our chapter’s $40,000 commitment to Botetourt County to help build a handsome memorial to Colonel William Preston at the county’s new visitor center location at Greenfield, but Treasurer Fulton Galer, 5030 Woodmont Drive, SW Roanoke, VA 24018, would welcome your generous contribution to the Preston Memorial Campaign (and/or a three-year pledge) at any time. Such contributions are tax deductible. As well, they are an expression of your support for the current major project of your SAR chapter. Please consider sending a check earmarked for this patriotic project today.
Dedication of Gravesite of Private George Sowers
On Saturday, August 15th, Fincastle Resolutions Chapter President Reverdy Wright, Chancellor Tucker Lemon, and Color Guardsmen Dennis Fritts and John Skillman participated in a ceremony to dedicate the newly discovered gravesite of Revolutionary War Private George Sowers. Fincastle Resolutions was the only heritage society represented. The ceremony was orchestrated by Tom King, founder of Fallen Heroes of Floyd, a project to identify and honor veterans resting in Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery in Floyd.
