Why Join the SAR

Honor Your Heritage

Joining the Sons of the American Revolution is a meaningful way to honor your ancestors who fought, served, or supported the cause of American independence. If you are a direct descendant of a patriot who contributed to the Revolutionary War effort, SAR membership connects you to that legacy. It’s more than a lineage — it’s a living tribute to the courage, sacrifice, and ideals that helped shape our nation.

Engage with Purpose

SAR membership offers opportunities to actively promote patriotism, preserve American history, and educate future generations. Whether you’re participating in Color Guard events, recognizing veterans and educators, supporting youth contests, or giving historical presentations, your involvement has a lasting impact. Members find purpose and pride in giving back through service, ceremony, and community engagement.

Join a Brotherhood of Patriots

When you join the SAR, you become part of a nationwide network of like-minded individuals who value faith, family, freedom, and historic preservation. At the local level, our Canadian Valley Chapter fosters camaraderie, mentorship, and meaningful friendships through regular meetings, outreach projects, and shared goals. Whether you're passionate about genealogy, civic service, or American history, you'll find a welcoming community here.
