On August 2, 2026, President Jim Poole recognized the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence—a defining moment in the founding of our nation.

Pictured are members of the Patriot Guard, who provide es**rt services for veterans’ funeral processions at Marietta National Cemetery and other locations, along with a member of the Liberty Hill Chapter, DAR.

President Jim Poole was pleased to speak with the gentleman pictured on the left, a Marietta resident with a Patriot ancestor in his lineage, who expressed interest in joining the Sons of the American Revolution.

It is always encouraging to meet individuals who wish to honor and preserve the legacy of their Patriot ancestors.

Mark your calendars! The Captain John Collins Chapter's float will be in the Acworth Constitution Day Parade on Saturday, September 12th — a great chance to represent our chapter and celebrate the founding document that established our republic.

And don't forget: our next regular chapter meeting is Tuesday, August 18th at Hudson's Grille in Kennesaw (also available via Zoom). We'd love to see you there!

A friendly reminder from our July chapter meeting: all members are encouraged to complete the national society's Youth Protection Program course through SAR University. Beyond protecting the young people we work with at JROTC events, Eagle Scout ceremonies, and other youth-focused programs, completing this course also qualifies our chapter for liability insurance coverage.

If you haven't completed it yet, please make it a priority — it only takes a short time and helps keep our whole chapter protected.

Great turnout at our July 21st chapter meeting! We were honored to welcome Dr. Thomas E. Price, an orthopedic surgeon who served as the 23rd U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, as our guest speaker. Dr. Price spoke on the "Physician Signers of the Declaration of Independence" — a fascinating look at the doctors among our Founding Fathers who risked everything to put their names on that document.

Dr. Price previously represented Georgia in the U.S. House (2005–2017) and the GA State Senate (1997–2005), and has called metro Atlanta home for over 40 years. President Jim Poole and VP Jason Shepherd presented him with a Certificate of Appreciation for sharing his insights with our chapter.

Saturday morning, members of the Captain John Collins Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution, were honored to assist the Marietta Kiwanis Club in preparing 3,000 American flags for the 9/11 Field of Flags display at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park.

Each flag will stand in remembrance of a life lost on September 11, a powerful sea of red, white, and blue that reminds us of the cost of freedom and the strength of the American spirit.

We are grateful for the opportunity to give back to our community, support our Kiwanis partners, and help ensure this meaningful tribute is ready for all who come to reflect and remember.

The Captain John Collins Chapter was honored to be represented on the field at Truist Park on July 4th as part of the GASSAR Color Guard.

Chapter Secretary Chris Thompson and his wife Sheri joined compatriots from across Georgia in presenting the colors during the opening ceremonies of the Atlanta Braves vs. New York Mets game, helping kick off a memorable Independence Day celebration for thousands of fans.

We are grateful for opportunities like this to share our Patriot heritage with the public, honor those who secured our freedom, and help celebrate America’s birthday in such an inspiring setting.

Our Chapter is proud to share that on July 4, the City of Acworth presented our chapter and the Liberty Hill Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, with an official Proclamation commemorating the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

We are grateful to Mayor Tommy Allegood and the Board of Aldermen for honoring the legacy of the Patriots who secured our nation’s independence and for recognizing the work our chapter does to preserve Revolutionary War history and promote the ideals of liberty, independence, and civic service in our community.

This Proclamation is part of the broader America 250 observance taking place across the country as communities mark this historic milestone in our nation’s story.

We look forward to continuing to partner with the City of Acworth, local organizations, and our fellow citizens as we commemorate America’s 250th and share the story of our founding with future generations.
