The Molly Goodnight Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, awarded DAR Youth Citizenship Medals and Certificates to 27 eighth-graders and one fifth-grader of various local and area schools around Amarillo. The medals were presented at school award assemblies in May by school representatives and DAR members.
The DAR was founded in 1890. Its members can trace their ancestry to a patriot, man or woman, who during the Revolutionary War aided in achieving American Independence in 1776 from England, either as a civil servant or a soldier.
DAR members believe in honoring the Flag of the United States of America, in the education of children and adults, in preserving history for future generations, and in perpetuating the memory of the men and women who achieved American independence. They believe in God, home, and country.
These students have demonstrated the qualities of honor, service, courage, leadership and patriotism during the past school year. Teachers, counselors and principals nominated them for their personal acts and attitudes.
