On behalf of the Brothers, we congratulate the award winners listed below. These individuals, Camps, and Departments clearly demonstrate what can be accomplished. 2. Past Commander in Chief Donald E. Darby is awarded the Elmer (Bud) Atkinson Lifetime Achievement Award. PCinC Donald E. Darby became a member of the SUVCW 30 July 1988 at Gov. Dennison Camp 125 in Athens, Ohio where he served as Camp Secretary/Treasurer. He later became a charter member of Sgt. Richard Enderlin Camp 73 in Chillicothe, Ohio where he served as Secretary/Treasurer, Junior and Senior Vice and Camp Commander. At the Department level as Graves Registration Officer he registered over 5,000 GAR gravesites. He also brought to fruition the "Last Soldier" Project in the Department of Ohio, which was later adopted as a National project. Nationally, in coordination with the National Webmaster, he brought the "Patriotic Recollections" and the "Teachers and Scholars" to the National Web page. At his suggestion, the current National Patriotic Instructor instituted the "Adopt-a-School" and "Adopt-a-Unit" program. He supported the SUVCW Charitable Foundation by transcribing on to CD's the GAR and SUV Blue Books, History of the Grand Army of the Republic by Robert Beath, Camp Fire Chats by Washington Davis.

Shortly after his 3 – Old Greencastle death, the 75th National SUVCW and 70th National Auxiliary Encampments were held Cemetery Clean-up in Harrisburg, PA. During the encampments, a special trip to Gettysburg was organized where 3,000 people witnessed a parade and the dedication of the GAR monument. 4 – Civil War Veteran For many years prior to this, Pennsylvania SUVCW Brothers and Auxiliary Sisters Finally Laid To Rest had been commemorating the dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery and the 5 – 73rd O.V.I.
