I am writing to extend you the opportunity to join the Sons of the American Revolution. I, along with several gentlemen in the local area, are in the process of beginning a local Sons of the American Revolution chapter. While living in the Raleigh area, I belonged to a very active chapter and upon my moving to Maxton this past year was sad to find that there was no local SAR chapter in the area. As a matter of fact the only chapters located in the southern part of the state are Wilmington and Charlotte, too far away for me to be very active. We invasion this chapter filling in the space between those two chapters. When you join the Sons of the American Revolution as a Descendent of one of the Patriots and Heroes of the American Revolution, you reaffirm your ancestor’s faith in the Principles of Liberty and our Constitutional Republic. You further pledge to support the National Society, Sons of the American Revolution. All Compatriots are bound to assist, support and encourage one another in the discharge of their duties, which include furthering the principles and purposes of the Sons of the American Revolution. Thus, we all are bound together in the common pursuit of the patriotic, historical, and educational objectives of the Sons of the American Revolution. This is a small price for us to pay to redeem the mutual pledge to each other of “our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor” made by our Patriot Ancestors. By becoming a member, you are eligible to participate in local Chapter activities, you will receive The Old North State, our state newsletter, and you will also receive The SAR Magazine, published quarterly by NSSAR. If you would like to honor your Revolutionary Patriot by joining our group or just have questions that you would like answered, please call email me .
