19 Oct 2025 Yorktown, VA
Today the SAR led many other organizations in a celebration of the 244th Anniversary of Victory at Yorktown. Prominent among the participants were members of the French military, as the French Fleet under De Grasse had enabled the victory with his defeat of the Royal Navy at the Battle of the Capes and Rochambeau's Army fought along side ours at Yorktown. The ceremony was in a different location and the parade was cancelled by the government shutdown, we still celebrated with joy. The CMM was represented by Bill Schwetke who participated in the Color Guard and presented the chapter wreath.
