The Project Patriot Committee celebrated the US Coast Guard's 234th anniversary

 On August 5, 2024, Brunswick Town DAR Project Patriot Committee collaborated with American Legion Post 543, Cape Fear Blue Star Mothers, and the Oak Island Elks Lodge Veterans Committee to host a lunch for the active-duty members of the US Coast Guard stationed at Oak Island, NC, in celebration of the USCG’s 234th anniversary. The Project Patriot Committee Chairperson helped purchase and deliver food for the event and assisted in serving the active duty USCG members. Leftover food was donated to the local food bank and the USCG station for future use.
