维多利亚县法官本·泽勒（Ben Zeller）也出席了这次活动。

根据Zeller的说法，我们的退伍军人的活动，例如在VFW上举办的活动，以及像DAR这样的组织“在社区中发挥关键作用”。他强调了让这样的组织今天展示我们的兽医的重要性。”和我们昨天的创始人。

Adamson stated that the DAR is an organization of women aged 18 and older who can prove they are direct descendants of those who fought or contributed to the war efforts of the Revolutionary War.

亚当森（Adamson）表示，达尔（DAR）是一个18岁及以上的妇女的组织，可以证明她们是那些为革命战争的战争努力或贡献的人的直接后代。

The DAR wishes to “show public pride in our patriot ancestors and encourage the research into family history,” said Adamson. Combining a Presidents’ Day celebration with honoring the vets brings “awareness” to the community, “educating and reminding them of the source of our freedoms and the country” as we know it.

Adamson说，DAR希望“对我们的爱国者祖先表示自豪，并鼓励对家族史进行研究。”众所周知，将总统日庆祝活动与尊敬的兽医结合给社区，“教育并提醒他们我们自由和国家的来源”。

“We don’t really know about our wars because we haven’t fought in those wars,” Adamson said. The DAR wants to educate and honor all our vets, past and present, and keep that sacrifice and respect at the back of the community’s mind.

亚当森说：“我们真的不知道我们的战争，因为我们没有参加这些战争。” DAR希望教育和尊重我们过去和现在的所有兽医，并将这种牺牲和尊重保持在社区的脑海中。

This event is a just a step for the preparation of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. The semi-sesquicentennial will be July 4, 2026, and the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution has arranged a traveling revolutionary war exhibit, The Revolutionary Experience, to be hosted by the Coastal Bend museum in January 2026. There is even more planned to remind our community of the beginnings of America and the fact we can celebrate 250 years of freedom thanks to those who first laid their lives for the American Flag.

这项活动只是准备美国革命250周年的一步。半平等的周年纪念日将于2026年7月4日，美国革命的国家女儿学会安排了一场旅行的革命战争展览，即革命性的经验，由沿海弯博物馆于2026年1月举办。为了提醒我们的社区美国的开端，以及我们可以庆祝250年的自由，这要归功于那些首先为美国国旗献出生命的人。
