225th Anniversary of the Victory at Cowpens, January 14, 2006
January 14, 2006 was a day
when the sun was shining brightly but the weather was cold
with a strong wind. On this day members of the SAR, DAR, CAR,
SR, and Sons of the Cincinnati met to pay their respects and to present
memorial wreaths to their ancestors. They had every reason to
be proud of the Patriots who fought at Cowpens as it was the first time
that American forces met and defeated the vaunted British Army.
