On February 23, 2026, at the Hendersonville, North Carolina Library, Blue Ridge Chapter President Garry Linton (dressed in Militia attire), presented a program on “George Washington, his Compatriots, and the Nascent American Revolution”. Blue Ridge Chapter Past President Craig Issacson assisted with the program and participated in answering the many questions the 24 people in attendance had asked.

It is easy to see that the Blue Ridge Chapter is an active, energetic, busy Chapter that is always looking for new members to help us reach our challenging goals for the recognition of the sacrifices our Patriots made for us to enjoy all the freedoms we have today.
