I am not a member of DAR but I found out in recent years that my patriarchal ancestor came from Ireland with his family settling in Virginia and he fought with the South Carolina militia during the revolutionary war.
I enjoyed the parade. I don’t remember anything like it in decades. A friend of mine was complaining about the tax money being spent on it but their were corporate sponsors like Lockheed Martin, Oracle, UFC and Coinbase.
Does anyone know if the sponsors paid for all or just some of it?

My Revolutionary War ancestor’s family came from Germany via Scotland to Pennsylvania. He later relocated to Botetourt County, Virginia, where I was distant kin to most everybody who lived there when I was a kid.
