Daughters of the American Revolution National Headquarters

·
August 14, 1765, Boston's Sons of Liberty gathered beneath a great elm tree to protest the Stamp Act, Britain's first direct tax on the American colonies. They hung an effigy of the local stamp tax collector from its branches, and that elm soon earned a new name: the Liberty Tree.
It became a rallying point for Patriots in the years that followed, a living symbol that resistance to ""taxation without representation"" could take root and grow.
Eleven years before independence was declared, the seeds of revolution were already being planted.

The Red, White, and Boom festival in Historic Downtown Perry was a wonderful way to celebrate America's 250th birthday. The General Daniel Stewart Chapter, NSDAR, participated by manning a booth honoring our military. Small American flags were available to write the name of a veteran, active-duty service member, or military hero for recognition. The flags were then placed in pine straw at the courthouse, creating a meaningful tribute to our military past and present. Thank you to the city of Perry for making this opportunity available and thank you to the General Daniel Stewart chapter members for your participation.

Let’s ring the bells for Independence and the 250th anniversary. Whether church bells or hand bells, make plans to ring a bell 13 times on July Fourth at 2:00 p.m. ET

History:
The official "National Bell Ringing Day" is observed by Americans coast-to-coast simultaneously ringing bells 13 times at exactly 2:00 p.m. ET (adjusting for time zones to match) to honor the original 13 colonies.The History of the TraditionNational Bell Ringing Day: In 1963, President John F. Kennedy officially proclaimed July 4th as National Bell Ringing Day through U.S. Congressional Resolution Number 25.
The Liberty Bell: Because of its historic crack, the original Liberty Bell in Philadelphia is no longer rung, but it is symbolically tapped 13 times by descendants of Declaration signers every Fourth of July.Current Celebrations: Many towns, historical sites, and communities hold local bell-ringing ceremonies. The National Bell Festival encourages everyone to gather, ring personal handbells, or toll church bells at 2:50 p.m. ET (or other localized times based on the event) as part of the country's ongoing 250th-anniversary milestone.

Wonders Untold

The American flag has been redesigned 27 times since 1777. A new version was required almost every time a state joined the union.
The first flag law, passed June 14, 1777 -- Flag Day -- set 13 stars and 13 alternating red and white stripes. Congress didn't specify how the stars should be arranged, so early flags varied. When states started joining faster, the stripe system failed. The 1818 law locked the stripes at 13 and shifted all future changes to the star field.
Each new design became official on the Fourth of July following a state's admission. The 49-star flag flew for less than a year, from July 4, 1959 (Alaska) to July 3, 1960 (Hawaii). The current 50-star flag was designed by a 17-year-old student for a school project. It has been unchanged since 1960 -- the longest-running design in American history.

The Rock Painting for Kids was a huge success! The theme was a Celebration of the 250th Birthday of the USA. We had 115 participants (15 were parents) and every child painted 2 rocks - one to take home and one to place in the Native Wings Garden at the Perry Public Library. A big thanks to Beth McLaughlin, Beth Tabor, and Cindy Oxendine for their assistance and to Yolanda Young at the library. It was fun and educational!
