DAR Today Podcast Committee
What is happening in the DAR Today? In this podcast, we'll talk about what the members of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution are doing in your communities, hosted by National Chair, Brooke Bullmaster Stewart and the DAR Today Podcast Committee. The DAR is a non-profit, non-political, volunteer women's service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America's future through better education for children. Members are all lineal descendants of those who supported the cause of independence in the Revolutionary War. Find out more at DAR.org!
Continental Congress is so much more than business meetings, formal meals, forums, and fellowship. With thousands of DAR members gathering in our nation’s capital from across the country and around the world, Congress becomes a meaningful opportunity to show tangible appreciation, gratitude, and remembrance for those who have served the United States of America.
In this July edition of “What Are the Chapters Doing?” Haley Lancaster, National Vice Chair Writer and Editor, highlights several moving acts of tribute that took place during the week of the 135th Continental Congress.
From Arizona Daughters honoring the Marine Corps Body Bearers near the DAR Founders Memorial, to Ohio, Tennessee, and Indiana Daughters making special pilgrimages to Mount Vernon, this episode reflects the heart of remembrance and patriotic service. Listeners will also hear about the Louisiana Daughters’ solemn wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.
The episode closes with a deeply personal story of sisterhood and service. Katie Siebel of the Constantia Chapter in Suffolk, Virginia, brought her trumpet to Congress and, at the request of her roommate Gloria Womble, played TAPS at Arlington National Cemetery beside the graves of Gloria’s parents. Gloria’s father, Master Sergeant Gerald Eugene Kightlinger, was a Vietnam veteran who served more than 21 years in the military.
These powerful moments remind us why Daughters gather, why we remember, and why we continue to serve—honoring legacies both grand and personal, one act of gratitude at a time.

In this special Legacy Trilogy Edition of the DAR Today Podcast, we celebrate the return of What Are Chapters Doing?, hosted by National Vice Chair, writer, and editor Haley Lancaster.
Haley’s debut segment shines a spotlight on the meaningful service of DAR chapters and members across the country, beginning with the Mall Hands on Deck Cleanup Project at the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. Ahead of Continental Congress, DAR volunteers will join together in service to help care for the iconic Japanese cherry blossom trees and the historic landscape surrounding the National Mall.
This episode highlights the power of conservation, civic engagement, and community partnership through the DAR Service to America Committee, DAR Conservation Committee, the National Park Service, and the Trust for the National Mall. It also celebrates the National Society’s Gift to the Nation donation during the Storage Administration, supporting the long-term preservation of the Cherry Tree Endowment.
As Daughters prepare to gather for Continental Congress, this episode reminds us that service is at the heart of who we are. From chapter projects to national efforts, DAR members continue to carry the torch, pass the flame, and illuminate our legacy through service, historic preservation, education, and patriotism.

In this patriotic May episode of the DAR Today Podcast, we are honored to feature the National Chair of the Flag of the United States Committee, Jeanne McMillan for a meaningful conversation on the history, symbolism, and enduring importance of the American Flag.
As we observe National Military Appreciation Month, recognize Armed Forces Day, and approach Memorial Day, this episode invites listeners to reflect on service, sacrifice, remembrance, and love of country. Our conversation explores how the Flag continues to unite generations, carry the story of our nation, and call each of us to deeper respect, education, and civic responsibility.
In this episode, we discuss:
- the mission and purpose of the Flag of the United States Committee
- why the American Flag still holds deep meaning across generations
- the importance of Flag etiquette, education, and proper respect
- programs and observances chapters can use in their own communities
- creative ways local chapters can lead meaningful Flag-related activities
- how this work connects to America 250
- the role of remembrance, patriotic education, and service in Illuminating Our Legacy
Our guest also shares a touching reflection from her service with veterans, reminding us that honoring the Flag is not only ceremonial, but deeply personal.
As the blossoms are blooming throughout the Storage Administration, this episode is a timely reminder that legacy is not only something we remember — it is something we nurture, carry forward, and bring into full bloom.
We dedicate this episode to the men and women of this nation — past and present — whose service and sacrifice continue to call us to gratitude.

Now… just for fun… here are the lyrics for THE STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER! (LYRICS BY JOHN PHILIP SOUSA)
Wouldn’t that be a fun chapter activity - to sing this at your next meeting? ;-)
Let martial note in triumph float
And liberty extend its mighty hand
A flag appears ‘mid thunderous cheers,
The banner of the Western land.
The emblem of the brave and true
Its folds protect no tyrant crew;
The red and white and starry blue
Is freedom’s shield and hope.
Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom’s nation.
Hurrah for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our standard forever,
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.
Let eagle shriek from lofty peak
The never-ending watchword of our land;
Let summer breeze waft through the trees
The echo of the chorus grand.
Sing out for liberty and light,
Sing out for freedom and the right.
Sing out for Union and its might,
O patriotic sons.
Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation,
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom’s nation.
Hurrah for the flag of the free.
May it wave as our standard forever
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with might endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray,
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.
