A little American history along the road to SAR National Leadership in Louisville! 🇺🇸

During his travels, Chapter Secretary Chris Thompson with his wife Sheri stopped to pay his respects at the graves of American Patriot Daniel Boone and his wife, Rebecca. Taking a moment to remember those who came before us made the journey especially meaningful.

Their resting place is in Frankfort, Kentucky and not too far from Buffalo Trace Distillery—a reminder that sometimes a short detour offers a memorable connection to our nation’s past.

Why do we observe Constitution Day?

The Constitution provides the framework for our Constitutional Republic and protects the liberties Americans continue to cherish. Its principles grew from a generation that believed government derives its authority from the people and must be guided by the rule of law.

The Sons of the American Revolution honors the service and sacrifices of the Patriots who secured American independence, while encouraging an appreciation for the founding principles they helped make possible.

As Constitution Day approaches, take a moment to read the Constitution, share it with a young person, or join us at the Acworth Constitution Day Parade on September 12.
