Our
members are made up of men who are direct decedents of an ancestor who
supported the War of American Independence.
These ancestors are referred to as Revolutionary War Patriots and
include those persons who fought in the military and/or militia, who provided
supplied to the American cause, who served on political bodies supporting the
Revolution, or who signed oaths of support and similar acts. It is fascinating to see how our family
history is part of our national history.
Our
mission is to “To increase and promote
public knowledge and appreciation of the Revolutionary War, and of the
principles and the patriot sacrifices upon which America’s heritage is
founded.” Our vision as the State’s
primary men’s organization is the promoting of American heritage, patriotism
and education on founding principles.”
The
Mid-Columbia Chapter was chartered on March 1, 2012. We meet on the 3rd Sat of each month (Sep to
Jun) at Round Table Pizza, 1769 Leslie Rd, Richland, WA. Visitors are welcome.
Many
of our members are in the Color Guard. We
participate in uniform, in various parades, patriotic and educational events with
civic organizations and schools. If you
are interested in such an organization, contact our Color Guard Captain, above
or our Registrar/Genealogist,
Brian Smith. We have members from the
Canadian border, down to central Oregon.
