USS Stark Memorial Award Contest Stark report mileage calculation The USS Stark Contest is a way for the National Veterans Affairs Committee to determine how well the chapters are supporting one of the major goals of the NSSAR. That is support of veterans. All are encourage to maintain a list of activities throughout the year on the USS Stark Tracker Form, to which a link is provided below. We have 21 chapters submitting now and hope to get this 100% in the coming years. There are a number of ways in which compatriots can participate.
For most of the categories, you can count round trip mileage from your residence to the activity and the time spent at the activity. Form some you count money spent and others whether in business or colonial attire. The best way to keep up with activities, is to maintain a USS Stark Activities Tracker Form. Keep track of activities and events as they occur. This form will compute your points automatically and make it easy to fill out the USS Stark Contest Form. This form and the contest form can be found at the National Website, Veterans Committee.
