America 250 SAR Focus
continue to celebrate the accomplishments of our Patriot ancestors. We are uniquely qualified to educate the public about the individuals who fought, struggled, and suffered for and ultimately prevailed in gaining liberty and independence. These individuals are our ancestors; it is our responsibility to tell their stories.
PG Wright has asked the council of youth awards to evaluate and recommend changes to the applications and contest criteria used for various programs to focus on the 250th anniversary. The 250th Anniversary committee is tasked with developing or enhancing partnerships with the DAR, the C.A.R., the American Battlefield Trust, the National Park Service, and other Revolutionary War related organizations to develop joint programs that will help promote the American Revolutionary period.
He concluded his remarks by asking all Compatriots to re-energize themselves and get excited about the 250th anniversary, to renew our commitment to our patriot ancestors and the SAR, and to determine how you can contribute to the SAR’s efforts to celebrate this important era.
Editor’s Note: You can follow the progress of SAR’s plans for the 250th Anniversary by going to the SAR website and open the America 250 tab on the top of the home page.
