The 120th Anniversary of the Southern California Society of the Sons of the American

Revolution held at the Green Dragon Tavern and Museum on October 25, 2014, was a

memorable occasion for the one hundred plus attendees. Greetings were presented by NASSAR

Chancellor, John Dodd, CASSAR President, Jim Faulkinbury, and

CASSAR Color Guard Commander and VP South, Jim Fosdyck.

The featured speaker was 2014 Minuteman and former CASSAR

President, Karl Jacobs. He presented an informative power point on

German vs. German at the deciding Yorktown Battle in the

Revolutionary War.

Rt. Rev. Louis Carlson, 2013-14 SAR National Chaplain and CA

Chaplain graced our lunch and the Rev. Dr. Stanley De Long,

former NASSAR Chaplain, Minuteman, and former CASSAR

President gave the invocation and benediction.

The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Compatriot Richard Baily,

Pledge to SAR was led by former SD Chapter President Dave De

Long, and Recessional by former SD Chapter President, Robert

Fagaly.

Other honored guests were DAR National Corresponding Secretary

and former DAR California Regent, Karon Jarrard, and Jeanette

Shiel, DAR District 14 Director. Karon deserves a special thank-

you for preparation of the sixteen-page booklet featuring the one

hundred twenty years of SAR in Southern California. Each guest

was presented a keepsake booklet. Karon was honored in the

presentation of the Lydia Darragh Medal for her support to SAR.

CASSAR Color Guard Commander Jim Fosdyck did an

outstanding job arranging attendance of Color Guardsmen from

Southern California. The Wounded Warrior Medallion was

presented to US Marine Corps SSgt. Louis Huerta from the Camp

Pendleton Wounded Warrior Battalion West. SSgt Huerta is a

veteran of seven deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. The late USMC Major General Joseph

Pendleton, which the base was named after, was a former President of the SAR San Diego

Chapter.

Thank you to Compatriot Ernie McCullough for coordination of the event venue, Compatriot

Dan McLaughlin, SD Treasurer, for handling the reservation receipts, and SD 1st VP George

Biles for arranging airport transportation for CASSAR President Jim Faulkinbury who flew in

from Sacramento for the event.

I also want to thank Mary-Anne McCullough and Gail Raser of the San Diego Chapter Ladies

Auxiliary for their tireless efforts in planning and arranging the table decorations. It was a

memorable event, enjoyed by all.

San Diego Chapter President,

Ray Raser
