World War I--The chapter supported three French War Orphans, Alexandre Forget, Eugene Fallett and a third whose name is unknown. Money was contributed to rebuild the Village of Tilloloy, France, and its water supply system. Support was given to the military services and service organizations in the form of money, food, and knitted garments. The chapter purchased Liberty Loan Bonds and contributed to foreign country relief projects. In September 1997, three chapter members accompanied the NSDAR President General, Mrs. Charles Keil Kemper, to Tilloloy, France, for the rededication of the works done by the NSDAR in Tilloloy.

World War II--The chapter continued to provide similar support as it had in World War I. Local monetary support was given to the Red Cross and military hospitals. Contributions were made toward the building of Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, MD. The chapter was involved in blood drives and the purchase of War Bonds and Stamps which were especially needed to support the war effort. Chapter members served in the Armed Forces.

Korea and Vietnam--Chapter members served in the Armed Forces or Red Cross overseas and stateside.

Valley Forge Bell Tower--The chapter is included in the Maryland book listing those chapters who donated funds towards the construction of the Bell Tower. The chapter contributed to the Maryland Bell and the restoration of the Maryland plaque in the Bay of Colonies. According to a newspaper article, the granite-like material used to build the Bay of Colonies came from Stoneyhurst Quarries which was owned by Lilly Stone of this chapter.

NSDAR Museum--A memorial plaque and donation to the museum was given in memory of Sgt. John Harvey, a member's nephew who was killed in 1980 during the attempt to rescue the U.S. Embassy hostages in Iran.

Ellis Island--The chapter placed the name of General Richard Montgomery on the Immigrant Wall of Honor at Ellis Island. He was the husband of Janet Montgomery for whom our chapter is named. Individual members were responsible for over $3200 being donated for the Wall of Honor. For over forty years the chapter consistently gave money for special projects and gave hand knit or other garments to Ellis Island for the immigrant and occupational therapy programs.

Statue of Liberty--Members gave contributions of money to help with the restoration of the statue as part of the NSDAR Liberty Love Day project.

The medal was to recognize the Foundation's work in creating the lovely Francis Scott Key Park---The Star-Spangled Banner Monument in Georgetown, District of Columbia, adjacent to the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

President General's Project--The Chapter donated funds in 2003 to the President General's Project to honor its members. A silver leaf is placed on the Giving Tree at National Headquarters, inscribed To Honor Our Members, Janet Montgomery Chapter, Rockville, Maryland, Founded 1909. This project will preserve the records of genealogical information on Revolutionary War patriots and their descendants, and membership records.

Project Patriot -- Members and non-members donated funds in 2002 to provide care packages to the military personnel aboard the John C. Stennis military vessel. Members also volunteered hours of time at National Headquarters to package the gifts. The National Society is the sponsor of the John C. Stennis ship. The Chapter continues to be active in this project through 2006.

The National and State DAR projects which we helped support are too numerous to mention.
