Welcome to the Website of the Georgia Society Sons of the American Revolution. We are a hereditary organization consisting of 35 Chapters throughout Georgia that is entrusted to perpetuate the traditions, symbolism, values and respect for our National heritage as given to us by our Revolutionary War Patriot ancestors. The Georgia Society was chartered by the National Society Sons of the American Revolution, March 15, 1921.
Our mission is patriotic, historic, and educational: we are a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and promoting education to our future generations. We do this in many ways; via appearances of our award-winning Color Guard, grave markings and event commemorations, youth programs such as the outstanding ROTC cadet and Rumbaugh historical oration contests, and service to veterans programs, just to name a few.
Our State and National Society membership of the Sons of the American Revolution comes from all walks of life including students, military, businessmen, educators, civil servants, general public, parents and grandparents. Our more prominent membership includes 16 past Presidents of the United States, members of the U.S. Congress, Supreme Court Justices and military service personnel including Medal of Honor recipients. All are equal representatives of our nation’s past.
Whether in Revolutionary War era uniforms, 18th century period dress, or 21st century business attire, our members deliver presentations on our Constitution, Colonial History and many other themes depicting the traditions of the men and women that built the American Nation.
The Georgia Society Color Guard, dressed in period Continental uniform and Militia, has won many awards for their participation in civic events, parades, patriotic programs, battle site observances, historic events, governmental and military events, and marking the graves of our patriot ancestors. We honor military veterans who have served to keep this country free.
We encourage you, while visiting our website, to contact our Society through our Contact Us page for further information on Membership in the Sons of the American Revolution. Help us remember not only your Family Patriot Ancestor but, all the men and women that built this Nation we call home, the United States of America.
