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!!

Congratulations Compatriot Kentsmith, and thank you, from all of the membership, for your service and dedication to the SAR!
The State Color Guard participated in the 58th annual Independence Day Parade in Ralston, NE, on 4 Jul 2018. Color Guard Commander, Chad Sherrets (Omaha), State President, Shawn Stoner (Lincoln), Compatriot John Braisted (Lincoln), and Compatriot Paul Burright (Omaha) were in attendance. Nella and Aylin Dolan, members of the Children of the American Revolution, also in period dress, carried our banner in front of the colors. Compatriot Mel Burright (Omaha) rode in an open jeep behind the color guard, waving and interacting with the spectators, along with Mary Dolan, President of the CAR and also a DAR member. It was an extremely hot day as we marched the 1.5 miles of the parade route, through downtown Ralston, as one of 100 other parade entries, and were seen by an estimated 42,000 members of the public in attendance. It was great to see people stand up and salute, or place their hand over their hearts, as we marched past with the colors. It was a great event to represent the Nebraska Society and showcase our organization to the public.
