At our October chapter meeting, the guest speaker was Terry Manning, a member of Sons of the American Revolution in Gwinnett County. Mr. Manning is a recipient of DAR's Medal of Honor and Community Service awards and of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolutions' Stewart Boone McCarty award for education outreach. He has served as the Georgia Society SAR's State President, has served two years as President of the SAR Button Gwinnett Chapter, and four years as the Atlanta Chapter President. Terry presented an interesting, informative, and fun program about the history of the Liberty Bell. Mr. Manning is pictured with Matthew Talbot Chapter members.

DAR chapters across the nation strongly support the men and women serving in conflicts abroad. Matthew Talbot chapter members are passionate about supporting active-duty military and their families. Through the Ga DAR 2021 Fall Forum Service Project - Operation Home Front, members donated various toiletries, board games, playing cards, toys, socks, white t-shirts, and diapers to military families stationed overseas. As pictured, the generosity of our members shines with Operation Home Front.

During the first Matthew Talbot Chapter meeting of the year on September 28, our guest speaker was Herb Smith, who served as a guard for the Tomb of the Unknown at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, DC. He is pictured here with some of our chapter members.
