The next membership meeting of Post 250 will be at 7:00 p.m. April 6, 2010 in the Pickering Center, 7771 Poplar Pike. Because April 6 is National Tartan Day our guest speaker will be a representative from the Scottish American Military Society. He will be discussing the role of Scottish Americans in the Revolutionary War.
Americans of Scottish descent have played a vibrant and influential role in the development of the United States. From the framers of the Declaration of Independence to the first man on the moon, Scottish-Americans have contributed mightily to the fields of the arts, science, politics, law, and more. Today, over eleven million Americans claim Scottish and Scotch-Irish roots -- making them the eighth largest ethnic group in the United States. These are the people and accomplishments that are honored on National Tartan Day, April 6th.
