U.S. Army Second Lieutenant Ryan Patrick Lyons was inducted as a compatriot of the Cincinnati SAR on Friday, April 27, 2018 at Kenwood Baptist Church, 8341 Kenwood Road. Ryan’s family requested that Cincinnati SAR President Jack Bredenfoerder induct Ryan at his commissioning reception. The reception was not only a celebration of Ryan’s military and education accomplishments, but also a celebration of his genealogical work. Ryan displayed a large panorama of his ancestors who served in the military. It was indeed a very impressive display that scanned many generations. His patriot Benjamin Pile was included along with a many great uncle, Thomas Stone who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence for the Great State of Maryland. Lieutenant Lyons has a degree in engineering from the University of Cincinnati and he will be stationed in Washington D.C. He hopes to join as a dual member of a chapter in the Virginia Society during his service in our nation’s capital. Congratulations Ryan!
