"Riding into Missouri's Past"
State Project 2013-2014
Dear Missouri C.A.R. Members,
The 2013-2014 National Project will raise funds for the Student Veterans of America. This non-profit organization supports veterans who are returning to complete their college degree. Veterans have always banned together. After the creation of the G.I. Bill after World War II, veterans were returning in large numbers to their higher education dreams. After September 11th occurred 12 years ago, veterans were returning home to limited funds from the G.I. Bill. It was not as easy for them to ban together to complete their degrees. Student Veterans of America provides these men and women a group of other veterans to support them throughout their college careers.
The 2013-2014 State Presidents Theme is Riding into Missouri's Past. Ride on over to Blackwater, Missouri, where frontier roots become present-day. Blackwater reenacts the Wild West of the 1880's, and the Children of the American Revolution was founded in 1895. This year's C.A.R. State Project will benefit the historical preservation of this small Missouri town. Our goal is to help in the restoration of the 1880's caboose. It is important to not only remember history, but also to celebrate it!
Come and join Missouri C.A.R. as we go back to the future.
