On May 25, 2022, the Colonel James Wood II Chapter of the Virginia Society Sons of the American Revolution presented a Bronze 250th Anniversary Medal to Matt Wendling, Planning Director, Warren County Planning Department. This medal is presented by the Sons of the American Revolution to individuals who support the upcoming 250th anniversary of the American Revolutionary War. This includes the planning and execution of the events as well as participation.

Wendling is chairing a committee for the planning and promotion of the anniversary in Warren County. The committee includes SAR compatriots Dale Corey, Thomas “Chip” Daniel, Jim Heflin and Brett Osborn.

Warren County was established in 1836 from portions of Shenandoah and Frederick Counties. A significant number of individuals from the area that became Warren County participated in the War for Independence. Recognition will be given to the patriots associated with the County as well as anniversaries of significant events during the period 2014-2033. This includes an annual commemoration of Dr Joseph Warren, namesake of the County, and the patriots who are buried in cemeteries throughout the area.
