Piedmont Chapter supports VA Medical Center Health Care Staff

The Piedmont Chapter members of the Sons of the American Revolution are grateful to the doctors, nurses, medical personnel, and hospital staff putting themselves on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis in the Atlanta Veteran’s Hospital in Decatur, GA. While the members of our SAR chapter are doing our part by staying home, these health care workers are heading to the hospital every day, fighting around the clock to save lives. The Piedmont Chapter salutes them for the incredible sacrifices they are making.

Our members joined in unison to help thank those who are helping so many! In appreciation of these efforts our chapter donated $2500.00 to support the creation of a box lunch meal for these workers. In coordination with City Barbecue, a locally owned restaurant group, our chapter will be providing assorted barbecue sandwiches and two homemade sides to the medical staff of the Covid-19 units within the hospital. During the month of May, we will provide 125 medical staff with a hardy dinner on four designated days; May 13, 20, 22 and 24. A total of 500 meals will be sponsored by the Piedmont SAR.

Our Chapter Vice President and Veterans Committee Chairman, Joe Zimmerman, said “Thank you to our members for allowing us to show our chapter’s appreciation to these health care heroes and the support of local Atlanta business.”

The Sons of the American Revolution is a national patriotic, historical and educational society whose members are direct descendants of the patriots who earned our independence.
