It is with immense pride and heartfelt admiration that the Fort Dorchester Chapter of the South Carolina Society of the Sons of the American Revolution proudly announces the presentation of the Chapter Distinguished Service Medal to our esteemed Compatriot Wilford “Skip” Burn Jr. by Chapter President Ken Buchanan. Skip’s extraordinary dedication, tireless leadership, and unwavering commitment to preserving our Revolutionary heritage have profoundly enriched our chapter and the broader SAR mission in Dorchester County and beyond.
As a visionary leader who has served with distinction—including as Chapter President—he has spearheaded vital initiatives such as securing grants for historical markers, fostering community partnerships, welcoming new members, and ensuring the stories of our Patriot ancestors are told inclusively and vividly for future generations. His selfless service, marked by enthusiasm, integrity, and an infectious passion for patriotic education and commemoration, exemplifies the highest ideals of the Sons of the American Revolution. This well-deserved recognition honors not only Skip’s exceptional contributions during his tenure but also inspires every Compatriot to continue the noble work of honoring those who fought for our liberty.
Congratulations, Skip—your legacy strengthens our chapter and our shared commitment to “cherish, maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom.”
