The chapter honors veterans at a Vietnam War Commemoration.
Activities
The Alexander Martin Chapter, NSDAR, is dedicated to the mission of the DAR in promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America’s future through better education for children.
The chapter has been active in historic preservation throughout Guilford County. One of our most visible markers honors our Patriots and is located at the Veterans Memorial in High Point. In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of our chapter’s founding, another marker was placed next to the historic Millis house, home of the chapter’s first regent, which is now named Millis Square.
