The Patriot Medal is the highest honor that can be bestowed on a Compatriot by a State Society. It is presented for recognition of long, faithful, outstanding, and distinguished service at the state and/or chapter levels.
State 1st VP, Merle McAlevy, Past State President, David Kentsmith, Omaha President, Tom Upton
As we were unable to present the medal at the Fall State Meeting, Compatriot Kentsmith was presented the medal at the Omaha Chapter Meeting on 13 Nov. Presenting the medal was State 1st Vice President, Merle McAlevy, and Chapter President, Tom Upton. Compatriot Kentsmith is very deserving of this recognition as he has served in many capacities and offices at various levels of the Society. He has been Chapter President of Omaha SAR, State President of Nebraska SAR, State Secretary, State Trustee and Alternate Trustee, as well as serving on various committees, including heading up the committee that helped to rewrite and update our State By-Laws. He also served as the North Central District, Vice President General to the National SAR.
Congratulations, Compatriot Kentsmith! Thank you from all of the state membership for your outstanding service to the Omaha and Nebraska SAR!!
