They have a wonderful display of war uniforms and photos--including the Revolutionary War right now. The guys presented the Colors
and later retired one flag outside. It was wonderful to have REP. SAM JOHNSON there too. He was kind enough to suggest that they all
have their pictures taken together. He is such a kind soul. My soldier--Don- is the second from the left."
"This is only one of the many events that we do with the Color Guard, and we both love it. I am now their Official Color Guard
Photographer! There is a display case in the Genealogy Section at the Haggard Library in Plano that is full of Revolutionary War items.
Don and 2 other guardsmen did that several Saturday's ago. He took me to see it today and it is very nice! They even put my name on the
photos that I took in the display!! I sure could get used to this!"
"They call this their summer uniform--which they do when it is so darn hot and they are outside. The only thing missing is their coat--
usually navy blue with red trim and white lining. It is very spectacular and you can not miss them. Little kids call them pirates, but that is
ok."
"Just thought I would share this with you. Just got these done."file:///P:/Archives_Rarebooks/Archives/6. Born-digital/2a.MakeDerivatives/SAR McKinney Chapter %2363 11-06-2019 Submission/2011 ready/UNTA_.. 1/1
