The Sons of the American
Revolution honors our Revolutionary War patriot
ancestors by promoting patriotism, serving our
communities, educating and inspiring future
generations about the founding principles of our
Country.
National Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution (NSSAR or SAR) was founded in 1889 and is
headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. SAR is a
non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to
promoting patriotism, preserving American history,
and promoting education to our future generations.
SAR members volunteer untold hours of service each
year in their local communities. SAR is very active
in assisting veterans. We proudly assist teachers
with living history interpreters, lesson planning
materials and reenactment events for school aged
youth to attend.
As one of the largest male
societies in the country, SAR boasts tens of
thousands of active members in over 550 chapters
across the United States and internationally. Any
male 18 years or older-regardless of race, religion,
or ethnic background-who can prove blood lineal
descent from a patriot of the American Revolution,
is eligible for membership. We were on the leading edge in allowing DNA results to be used to prove
descent for those with unclear roots. SAR National
Headquarters houses one of the premier
genealogical libraries. NSSAR is a Congressionally
Chartered Organization and is exempt from Federal
income taxes under the provisions of Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

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.
