Hello Alabama!
As the Cagle Administration begins, I am thrilled to embark on this journey alongside each of you! In April, it was an honor to be sworn in as your state president at Mount Vernon in Arlington, Virginia. I was overjoyed to spend time with friends across the country, carry our flag, and represent all of you in D.C.! To say the least, I was proud to be an Alabama member! I cannot wait to see where this year takes us as we “march” to “The Sound of Sousa”!
I have not met all of you personally yet, so here is some information about me! My name is Sarah Cagle. I am a sophomore in college majoring in American History. I am a dual member of C.A.R. and DAR.; my D.A.R. chapter is John Wade Keyes, and my society is Captain John Farrar. I have dreamt of being state president since I was sworn in as a member in 2017. My passion for music and history has led me to my theme this year is “The Sound of Sousa.” Playing the flute since 6th grade has given me the opportunity to participate in patriotism as expressed through music. This is the 125th Anniversary of “Stars and Stripes Forever” but Sousa did so much more for our country. I am excited that this anniversary coincides with the D.A.R. theme as well. That said, I am so excited to see you all learn about John Phillip Sousa and patriotic music!
