The Dorcas Richardson Trenton Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held its regular meeting on Nov. 2.

Prior to the meeting, chapter members honored Dan Dennis as its Patriot of the Month for November and Staff Sgt. Jeb Walker as its Patriot of the Month for December. Dennis served in the Air Force from 1984 through 1988, stationed in Blytheville, Arkansas. He was also family medicine practitioner, specializing as an OBGYN.

While serving in the Air Force, he delivered hundreds of babies. Dennis is married to Carla Dennis. He has three children and two granddaughters.

Walker served in the Marine Corp Reserves for 21 years. In 2016, he transitioned to the Missouri National Guard, where he serves as a staff sergeant.

While serving in the Marines, he deployed for Operation Iraqi Freedom and as a training advisor in Central South America.

As a member of the Missouri Army National Guard, he deployed to Kuwait for Operation Enduring Freedom. Walker is married to Christy Walker and they have two daughters.

Both men have also served as volunteers in their community on many projects.

“The daughters are grateful for our country’s veterans and active-duty military,” reads a release from the group. “It is a DAR tradition to honor and recognizes these individuals through the Patriot of the Month Program.”
