December 2023 Patriot Muster

On 12 December 2023, over 100 Compatriots and guests assembled for our Annual Patriot Muster. As always, we enjoyed the food and services provided by the Heritage Center. Compatriot John Shatzel was the Master of Ceremonites and did another spectacular job. This year, we recognized 14 members at large in the Leavenworth and greater Kansas City communities, with our first annual Freedom Corps Awards. The annual muster is designed to illuminate American patriots by giving attendees an opportunity to remember and represent local patriots as Defenders of Freedom, and declaring that patriotism is not limited to ancestry, location or time. During the 2023 Patriot Muster, the Henry Leavenworth Chapter commemorated the 250th Anniversary of the Boston Tea Party and inducted 13 good citizens into the Henry Leavenworth Chapter Freedom Corps as Compatriots of the colonial delegates to the First Continental Congress held in 1774.
