SAR is the largest male lineage society in the country. Membership is open to any male - regardless of age, race, religion, national origin, ethnic background, or nation of citizenship or residency - who can prove blood lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution.
We compatriots meet every month at our local chapters to fellowship, honor our patriot ancestors, and advance the goals of SAR.
