On October 19, 1781, at Yorktown, Virginia, the hopes of a young nation became a lasting promise of freedom. After years of sacrifice, hardship, and unwavering determination, American and French forces secured the surrender of British General Lord Cornwallis, marking a decisive turning point in the American Revolution.

The victory at Yorktown was more than a military triumph. It was the culmination of courage, perseverance, and a shared belief that liberty was worth defending. Soldiers fought, families endured separation and uncertainty, and patriots throughout the colonies contributed to the cause of independence. Their sacrifices helped lay the foundation of the United States of America.

As Daughters of the American Revolution, we honor the men and women whose service, sacrifice, and steadfast devotion helped secure our nation’s freedom. We remember that the blessings of liberty were not won without hardship, nor have they endured without the commitment of generations who followed.

⚓🇺🇸 Happy 251st Birthday to the United States Navy! 🇺🇸⚓

Today, October 13, we proudly celebrate the founding of the United States Navy in 1775, during the American Revolution.

The U.S. Navy was created by the Continental Congress to protect American commerce, challenge British control of the seas, and help secure the independence of our newly forming nation. From its earliest beginnings, the Navy answered the call to defend liberty and protect the freedoms that would become the foundation of the United States of America.

As members and supporters of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), we honor the Navy’s proud heritage and recognize the courage, sacrifice, and patriotism of the men and women who have served our country throughout its history.

From the patriots who took to the seas during the Revolutionary War to the Sailors who serve today, the United States Navy continues a proud tradition of protecting our nation and defending the freedoms we hold dear.

Today, we salute all who have worn the Navy uniform, remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and extend our heartfelt gratitude to our active-duty Sailors, veterans, and their families.

Happy 251st Birthday, United States Navy!
May your legacy of honor, courage, and commitment endure for generations to come.

God Bless our Sailors, our Veterans, and the United States of America! 🇺🇸⚓️

🇺🇸 Columbus Day & Indigenous Peoples’ Day 🇺🇸

Today, the Daughters of the American Revolution recognizes the history, heritage, and contributions that have shaped our nation.

As we reflect on Columbus Day, we also honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day by recognizing the rich cultures, enduring traditions, and lasting contributions of Native American peoples, whose histories began on this land long before the arrival of European explorers.

As an organization dedicated to Service, Patriotism, and Preservation, we believe that understanding our nation’s history means acknowledging its many stories, honoring our shared heritage, and preserving the lessons of the past for future generations.

May today serve as an opportunity for reflection, respect, and a deeper appreciation of the diverse people and experiences that have shaped America.

On October 7, 2026, several Kings Mountain DAR Chapter members joined with others to commemorate the 246th anniversary of the Battle of Kings Mountain, a pivotal engagement of the American Revolutionary War that helped shape the course of our nation’s fight for independence.

The commemoration included a wreath-laying ceremony at Kings Mountain National Military Park, honoring the brave patriots who made sacrifices in the pursuit of freedom and helped secure the future of our nation.

Following the ceremony, we were honored to host a luncheon with the DAR Colonel Frederick Hambright Chapter in recognition of the Overmountain men, whose courage and perseverance played a vital role in this historic victory. The luncheon was held at Antioch Baptist Church and provided an opportunity for fellowship, reflection, and renewed appreciation for our Revolutionary heritage.

As Daughters of the American Revolution, we remain dedicated to honoring the memory of our patriot ancestors, preserving our nation’s history, and educating future generations about the people and events that shaped America.

May the legacy of the Overmountain Men and all who fought at Kings Mountain continue to inspire us to cherish our freedom, preserve our heritage, and serve our communities with patriotism and pride.
