Salute to Veterans

On this Veterans Day, DAR proudly salutes the brave men and women who have served our nation in uniform. We honor your courage, sacrifice, and steadfast devotion to the freedoms we hold dear.

From the founding Patriots of the American Revolution to today’s heroes, your legacy of service continues to inspire us all. Thank you for defending liberty and preserving the ideals on which our nation was built.

For 135 years, the DAR has carried the torch of patriotism.

Love of country was the purpose; ancestors who fought for freedom was the bond that connected women to unite to form an organization that honored heritage and worked to ensure a bright future for our children. Patriotism is the foundation of the many DAR activities that take place in local communities across the country.

As daughters of Patriots, we are committed to carrying forward that legacy of service. Today and every day, we pledge to:

• Honor all who have served through remembrance ceremonies and acts of gratitude.

• Serve veterans and their families through volunteerism, donations, and community outreach.

• Educate future generations about the cost of freedom and the enduring spirit of patriotism.

To our Daughters who have worn the uniform, thank you for your dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment to protecting our freedoms. You inspire us all! From the battlefields to command posts, from the skies to the seas, women have played vital roles in every aspect of our military history. On this day, and every day, we recognize the unique challenges and triumphs that come with breaking barriers and serving with distinction. 

To every Veteran — we thank you for your service, your courage, and your love of country. You are the living embodiment of the ideals our patriots fought to secure.
