State Regent's Project
The State Regent's project is placing benches at veterans cemeteries across the state. A bench was chosen as it represents rest and comfort. As women who serve, we are aware and concerned for comfort and security. To date, there has been no monument/memorial in the state of Washington dedicated to the women who have served over the decades. State Regent Julie Pittmann, wishes to rectify this with the placement of the bench of honor as a place to sit, rest, relax, and, contemplate. A place of respite if you will. Many have sought respite in the arms of a women for many reasons: Solace, Protection, Love, Caring, among many others. These benches will remind women that they are remembered and valued.

The idea for the Washington State pin was submitted to the State Assembly in Seattle in 1911. It was designed and adopted during the 21st Annual State Conference held in Tacoma, Washington in 1922. Today, the WSSDAR has become a vibrant and vital volunteer organization of over 2,000 women making a difference in their community, state, and nation. During the past 124 years our members have dedicated themselves to God, Home, and Country, tirelessly promoting service projects that promote historic preservation, education, and patriotism. |
