Direct Decendents of Soldiers/Patriots of the American Revolution 1776
What do we do?
Unlike any other component of
the Sons of the American Revolution
(SAR), the Color Guard provides newly inducted SAR members with
multiple opportunities
and challenges to do something meaningful with
those handsome
membership-certificates.
Besides being a lot of fun and a great way to form lasting friendships
with other
compatriots, the Color Guard is an excellent way to become an active
participant
in fulfilling the over-arching mission of our great organization. After
all, where
else but the Color Guard would you ever be given the
opportunity to march in parades,
participate in “Honor-Flight” homecoming welcomes for WWII veterans,
post colors
and congratulate new Americans at Citizenship ceremonies, honor
individuals and
businesses with Flag-Certificates, or teach our great American heritage
to classrooms
full of eager 4th and 5th graders? The answer
is clearly, “nowhere.”
In an effort to
encourage your participation, the Color Guard would like to give
you the opportunity to use a loaner uniform (hunting frock or
Regimental, free of
charge) until you’re able to purchase your own. During this
transition phase, as you “build” a
uniform, the Color Guard will also provide you with helpful tips and
where
to get
them.
By the way, you needn’t be a military veteran to join the ranks of these modern day “patriot soldiers.” All that is required is the ability to smile and wave a flag! On behalf of our members, I invite you to join our ranks as we strive to keep patriotism and the memory of our Revolutionary War heritage burning in the hearts and minds of every American, young and old. We believe it is our responsibility to bring public awareness of how we became this free nation and understand that it did not come free. Photo Gallery
