The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is a lineage society dedicated to preserving American history and promoting patriotism. Members trace their ancestry back to Revolutionary War patriots, with lineage documentation being a key requirement. DAR's commitment extends to historic preservation, including maintaining and restoring sites, landmarks, and artifacts from the Revolutionary era. Through various initiatives, DAR supports military personnel, promotes the U.S. flag, and commemorates patriotic milestones. Additionally, the organization fosters education through scholarships and programs to enhance literacy and historical understanding. DAR members actively participate in community service projects, fundraising, and supporting local causes. They also encourage genealogical research to help individuals establish membership eligibility, providing resources and guidance throughout the process.
