About MSSDAR
For over 115 years, the Missouri State Society Daughters of the American Revolution has been committed to the objectives of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.
Missouri Daughters understand that all
of the freedoms we have in the present are due to sacrifices by our
patriot ancestors and all that will be carried to the future will be
possible only through sacrifice and work in the present.
Thus the 2008-2010 theme:
The Present—Shaped by the Past, Shaping
the Future.
With a membership of over 5,000, Missouri Daughters work in their communities to preserve the past and shape the future by promoting the ideals of the National Society—Patriotism, Education, and Historic Preservation. Daughters encourage the proper use and flying of our National flag; honor historic figures; and place markers to commemorate events, places, and individuals. Working with schools, the members stimulate a love of history and encourage good citizenship. DAR offers scholarships and other awards to students across the state as students compete in history and DAR Good Citizenship contests at the chapter and state level. Along with other states, we support Tamassee DAR School in Tamassee, South Carolina, and Kate Duncan Smith DAR School in Grant, Alabama.
