When: Sunday,
Jan 8, 4 pm
US Daughters of 1812 will gather on the Garrison
lawn in Southport at the 1812 marker to lay flowers, name our
soldiers/sailors/Patriots, toll a bell, and commemorate the Battle of New
Orleans and War of 1812. Afterwards, we
will go to Oliver’s Restaurant on the riverfront at the foot of Howe Street and
have hors d'oeuvres or whatever and raise a glass to our 1812 ancestors, sing
“The Battle of New Orleans,” and enjoy the camaraderie that is the spirit of
the US Daughters of 1812. This will be
our 3rd annual commemoration event for Jan 8th.
Usually it is a luncheon, but this year being a Sunday, we are making it
an afternoon event. In 2014 we went to
Ports of Call for lunch, and in 2015 we dined at the Pharmacy. Join us this year on the banks of the Cape
Fear in Southport for this heartwarming celebration.
