Today's Moment to Remember
On this date, October 11th, in 1890, the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded. It was started by 4 women, Mary Smith Lockwood, Eugenia Washington, a great-grandniece of George Washington, Ellen Hardin Walworth, and Mary Desha, who wanted to help celebrate America's history, educate citizens, and instill patriotism. During this timeframe, 100 years after Washington was first elected President, there was a renewed interest in America's patriotic past. So, when historical societies, like Sons of the American Revolution, rejected women as members, these 4 pioneering women started their own organization. Currently, DAR (Daughters of the America Revolution), a nonprofit promoting historic preservation, education, and patriotism, has more than 185,000 members and more than 950,000 since its beginning. DAR's motto is "God, Home, Country"

Sadly, ... there were 4 first responders who died in the line of duty recently. The 1 fallen peace officer was Border Patrol Agent Robert Hotten, who died while responding to a remote border intrusion alarm. GO HERE to learn more about his teammates heroics to try and save him.
And, the 3 Fallen Firefighters were Lexington County firefighter Paul Quattlebaum, who was struck by a truck while working a crash scene, in South Carolina, Okanogan County Assistant Fire Chief Christian Johnson, who died from burns we received while fighting a forest fire last month, and Burdett firefighter Dale Jaynes, who died of a medical emergency while responding to a fire.
Please, pray for all of these fallen patriots and their family and friends in mourning.
