The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, known as the DAR, was founded in 1890, incorporated by certificate in 1891, and by an Act of the United States Congress in 1896. It is an organization for women, dedicated to service of the nation. DAR has committees functioning at the local, state, and national levels. Its objectives are:

To perpetuate the memory and spirit of the men and women
who achieved American Independence

To promote, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge, thus developing an enlightened public opinion and affording everyone such advantages to develop the largest capacity for performing the duties of American citizens.

To foster true patriotism and love of country, and to aid in securing for mankind all the blessings of liberty.

The American's Creed

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag and to defend it against all enemies.
