The General John Stark Chapter (DeKalb County) Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is proud to share with its members and the DeKalb County community that Michael Embrey has been named as the ‘2024  DAR Outstanding Veteran Volunteer of the Year for the State of Illinois’!

The chapter completed an extensive nomination outlining Mr. Embrey’s military service and his volunteer service to both veterans and veteran causes and the community.  The Outstanding Veteran Volunteer Award is presented to a veteran in recognition of outstanding achievement in personal, professional, and family life.

Mr. Embrey will be recognized at the Illinois State Conference on April 26.  His application has been forwarded for further judging at the Division level.  The national winner of this award will be recognized at Continental Congress in Washington, D.C., this summer.

Mr. Embrey is well deserving of this award and the chapter is thrilled to see him recognized for his work. Congratulations to Mr. Embrey.
