SUMMARY:(FL) Battle of Alligator Creek Bridge
DESCRIPTION:The Florida Society Sons of the American Revolution\, the City of Callahan\, and the West Nassau Historical Society celebrate the Anniversary of the American Revolutionary War Battle of Alligator Creek Bridge – 30 June 1778 \nTIME: 11:00 a.m. Saturday June 29\, 2024 \nLOCATION: West Nassau Historical Society\, 45383 Dixie Ave\, Callahan\, FL 32011 \nRSVP to Darryl.jaxsar.sec@att.net \nAMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR BATTLE OF Alligator Creek Bridge – The 3rd Florida invasion took place on June 30th\, 1778\, led by Col. Elijah Clark. It is known as the Battle of Alligator Creek Bridge. Col. Clark led his mounted Georgia Militia against British Major Prevost’s forces who were defending Alligator Creek Bridge.\nAs with the prior two expeditions\, there was a serious leadership disagreement between the two leaders: Governor Houstoun and General William Howe. Even though there were 2\,600 Continental and militia forces under the two leaders\, they did not agree on how to proceed with the invasion into Florida.\nGeneral Howe (with one half of the forces) opted to stay and occupy Fort Tonyn located about 14 miles north of the Alligator Creek Battle site on the St. Mary’s River\, even though it had been burned by British Loyalists.\nGovernor Houstoun opted to attack the 500 British Regulars\, 200 South Carolina Royalists and Seminoles at Alligator Creek Bridge. As Houstoun’s forces under General Screven chased the Loyalist forces back to the bridge\, the British Regulars thought Screven’s forces were also Loyalist forces retreating from the burned Fort Tonyn.\nCol. Elijah Clarke led his mounted militia against the British bridge entrenchments during the skirmish and Clarke was wounded. General Screven’s main reserve force\, seeing that Clarke was injured and being barely able to escape capture\, ordered a retreat. This was the third failed expedition. It was primarily due to a lack of coordination that had also doomed the two previous assaults on the Florida-Georgia borderlands.\nThe third invasion into Florida swamp land was a disaster. Although American battle casualties were only 13\, over 500 Patriots died of disease before they could be withdrawn from East Florida.

SUMMARY:National (NJ) - Battle of Monmouth Commemoration
DESCRIPTION:Wreath Laying for the Battle of Monmouth and General Friedrich von Steuben\, Monmouth Battlefield State Park\, Manalapan Township\, NJ \nThis is a National SAR Color Guard Event sponsored by the Monmouth Chapter. SAR Color Guard members from multiple states can be expected. The wreath laying coincides with a weekend-long encampment by reenactors who in years past have staged several reenactments of the battle\, fought on June 28\, 1778. The NJSSAR Color Guard honor both the battle and General Von Steuben\, the Drillmaster of Valley Forge\, without whose disciplined instruction the Continental Army might have fared poorly indeed. Von Steuben’s efforts at Valley Forge are said to have first shown results on a major scale here. (Note: A Battle of Monmouth Flag Streamer is available for participating chapters.) For event details contact: Jake Rue. \n\nArrive by 11 a.m. to prepare for the ceremony at noon. Color Guard will present a wreath at the Von Steuben memorial. Speakers TBD.\nMonmouth Chapter members should arrive by 10 a.m. to help set up and man an SAR Recruiting table next to the Visitor’s Center. It will start at 10:30 a.m. and end at 1 p.m. You are invited to participate with them.\n\nMonmouth Battlefield State Park\, 20 NJ-33 Business\, Manalapan Township\, NJ 07726

SUMMARY:National (DC) - Memorial Day Parade in Washington\, DC - 2:00 PM
DESCRIPTION:As we have discussed in passing\, I would very much like to get a good showing from the national color guard at this year’s National Memorial Day Parade.  PG Dodd and the incoming C.A.R. national president are both scheduled to attend.\n\nAs there are some misconceptions about the parade unit\, I wanted to state clearly that the unit is the NSSAR unit — not VASSAR or GW Chapter.  I have facilitated the NSSAR unit through the GW Chapter for many years\, but it has always been intended to be a national society effort.  NSSAR has always provided the certificate of insurance for the group.  Although this is not an easy one because of its location on the National Mall\, there are very few parade opportunities we have with as much public exposure and media amplification.\n\nThe parade is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Memorial Day\, Monday\, May 27\, 2024.  I am working on an earlier event that would help make this a two-fer for any color guardsmen who make the trip.  Additionally\, the GW Chapter awards a chapter-level medal to participants in the parade unit.\n\nAll of that is a long way of respectfully requesting that you put this on the color guard calendar.  Perhaps you might also consider letting me make a pitch for participation at your meeting during Spring Leadership.
