Pearl Harbor Memorial At noon on December 1, 2019, the Cincinnati Chapter of the Sons of the
American Revolution (CCSAR) joined members of the Chambers Hartman Budde
American Legion Post 534, the Hamilton County Sheriffs Pipes & Drums, The
Losantiville Highlanders and several other Veterans groups for the 65th Ceremony
to remember the attack on Pearl Harbor and honor the 2,403 citizens of the United
States who were killed in the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on
December 7, 1941. The Day that President Roosevelt said on national radio would
“live in Infamy.”
The parade from River Road is short in length, but very long on spirit with 100
people attending. Supported by the drums and bagpipers playing the themes of
United States military units and solemn ceremony to the awaiting barge provided by
the Anderson Ferry. Once the vessel is loaded it is powered out on to the Ohio River
where a bugler on the barge mirrors a bugler on the shore with a spine tingling
rendition of Taps. Following was a proper military prayer and presentation led by
the American Legion Post 534 and a rifle salute.
Finally, about 15 bio-friendly wreaths were placed on to the water accompanied
by two Coast Guard buglers playing echo Taps, mimicking the ritual one would see
on December 7th at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Silence followed, marked only by the
straining engine of the tugboat slowly returning the 70 plus attendees back to shore.
The ceremony was a reverent and fitting remembrance for those who fought
suffered and even died, so we would remain free.
God Bless America!

Flag Retirement Ceremony In the morning at 10 AM on December 1, 2019 7 members of the Cincinnati Chapter of the Sons
of the American Revolution (CCSAR) joined the Chambers Hautman Budde American Legion Post
534 at their lodge on 4818 River Road for our annual Flag Retirement Ceremony.
After all units were brought to Attention and “Present Arms” declared, the musket unit fired three
volleys with their flintlocks to set off the actual incineration. A proper and honorable end for our
National Colors!
American Legion Color Guard members joined their Safety team at the burn pit site, along with the
CCSAR Nolan Carson Memorial Color Guard and its 6 member Musket Unit. The Post 534
Commander confirmed readiness of the Flag Retirement Burn Team and requested the verbal
assurance that each of the flags to be retired met their service requirements.
A Prayer followed with homage to all those who’ve flown these banners and hope for the
replacements to be properly honored.

You have been a most active chapter—easily the most active in our State Society and very
likely throughout the National Society as well. And while these claims are easily proven or
defended, we still realize that our own, chapter & individual, significance is not derived by
what we do or how successful we are.
Our task is to be the voice of our ancestral patriots in proclaiming their contributions to
our society and culture of today. We each hearken to the world view and values held by our
patriot ancestors. A world view based upon principles founded in classical education and
biblical perspectives that continue to call to us though the portals of time.
Our task is to keep their significance and influence in our lives in the forefront of
activities, ceremonies and event planning in such a manner that it is always about them—
never about us! Any rewards or significance that may accrue to us will be enjoyed when we
are with them in eternity!
I know some of you may be thinking that I’ve fallen over the edge—but I also know that
many of you agree with this perspective—and that is probably why we are effective in our
initiatives and campaigns.
Looking Forward To Next Year!
A fraternal and civic society composed of lineal descendants of the men who wintered at Valley Forge, signed the Declaration of Independence, foughtin the battles of the American Revolution, served in the Continental Congress, or otherwise supported the cause of American Independence.
