Sons of the American Revolution

There is a separate organization for men called Sons of the American Revolution (SAR).

SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

The American Flag was Adopted in 1777

The 50 stars on the American flag represent the 50 states of the United States of America. The 13 stripes represent the thirteen British colonies that declared independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, becoming the first states in the Union - including Virginia. Nicknames for the flag include the "Stars and Stripes," "Old Glory," "The Red, White and Blue," and "The Star-Spangled Banner."

DAR publishes an informational Flag Code leaflet that describes the use and display of the American flag. DAR chapter members distribute American flags to new citizens at naturalization ceremonies, and provide Braille Flags to schools and institutions for the blind.
