US Daughters of 1812  gathered 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 went to Oliver’s Restaurant on the riverfront at the foot of Howe Street and have hors d’oeurvres  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.
