In time for Veterans Day, the Mary Bush Children of the American Revolution (CAR) placed flags at Revolutionary soldier graves at Christ Church on Nov 8, 2026.
The students were guided by local veteran, Ed Fox, and learned about Greenwich’s local 16 Revolutionary soldiers buried at this cemetery.
The local Children of the American Revolution (CAR) society has 60 members in children ages ranging from 1 to 21 years with fun educational activities throughout the year. The Children of the American Revolution is a national organization of young people that promotes an interest in government, conservation, history and culture, and encourages an awareness and love of the U.S.
The group is currently in a membership drive. Assistance will be given to any prospective member who is not sure they qualify for membership.
Anyone with an ancestor who fought, served, or aided in the American Revolutionary War is eligible for membership.
The group is sponsored by Putnam Hill DAR. Prospective members may call Katie Sumner at (203) 637-6789 or email [email protected].
