Those of you who live in and around Monroe County, Kentucky SAR and DAR, and Cindy T, Director of the Old Mulkey Meeting House State Historic Site, certainly know how to make your "out-of-towners" feel welcome! During the April 25-27 heritage days in Tompkinsville, our visit and participation as descendants of some of the "first families" who came to the Barren/Monroe County area was just great pleasure, and our memories of that weekend will be carried throughout our lifetimes. The descendants of BOONE & PENNINGTON & STEWART have exchanged precious memories as cousins who attended from 11 states. Hats off and cheers for you in Monroe County! Hope you make that an annual event. Nell Valrico, Florida AMERICAN'S CREED ~ "I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my Country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies." . . . William Tyler Page NOTE: William Tyler Page, Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives, wrote “ The American's Creed” in 1917. It was accepted by the House on behalf of the American people on April 3, 1918.
