Massing of the Colors
 

 

On Sunday 9, November 2008,  The MDSSAR Color Guard joined many other groups at the Massing of the Colors ceremony. This has become an annual event, and was again held at the Naval Academy Chapel in Annapolis, Maryland.

The Massing of the Colors is a patriotic ceremony to rededicate our faith in the Flags of the United States and to present our support to those Colors that represent the Servicemen and women who fight under them.  It combines the men and women and their associated flags of many active and reserve component military units, veterans’ organizations, civic and patriotic and lineage organizations in addition to the MDSSAR Color Guard.

 

The Maryland Color Guard had a big impression on those that attended and recieved praise on the SAR-Talk list serve:

"HUZZAH TO THE GREAT MARYLAND COLORGUARD!!!"
AJ, ANDREW M JOHNSON

 

The MDSSAR also recieved praise from the National Society Color Guard Vice Commander:

"...The Maryland Society Color Guard was perhaps the most impressive society to present colors. They were all in Continental uniforms, and made quite a showing.  Congratulations to Dave Hoover, Ernie Irish, and all the other fine Color Guardsmen of the Maryland Society SAR!"

Joseph W. Dooley, Vice Commander
National Society SAR Color Guard

 

Congrats to the MDSSAR on their fine work!
