She and her DAR colleagues spread the wealth, being sure to recognize every branch of our armed forces, to include the Guard, Reserve and family members. And, June is particularly inclusive when it comes to the wide range of wartime (and peacetime!) eras which the robust Lake and Sumter veteran community represents. The majority of Continental Soldiers were young men between the ages of 15 to 30, she told me. Maybe that s why the DAR is just as keen on lending a hand to Service recruiters or stirring up support for returning Afghanistan or Iraq vets as they are about supporting local school teachers with materials and speakers lest we forget names like Bunker Hill, Yorktown and Valley Forge.
