National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR), Illinois Rock River Chapter District 2, are always thinking of thoughtful ways to support Resthave Care & Rehabilitation residents throughout the year.
From sending cards, gifting goodie bags, to their latest generous gesture–donating t-shirts for our 20 veterans–DAR members continue to show incredible kindness!
On Wednesday, August 27, 2025, the women presented our veterans with t-shirts stating, “I am a Veteran. My Oath of Enlistment Has No Expiration Date.” Our veterans wear them proudly, and we are deeply grateful for the generosity of DAR.
A huge thank you to NSDAR Daughters and to all veterans, for your service to our great Nation!
