The Daughters of the American Revolution honor with pride those men and women who, through their service at home or aboard, past and present, have contributed or are contributing towards our nation's ongoing efforts to maintain peace throughout the world, and secure our homeland security.

Through our Patriot of the Month program, initiated by Honorary State Regent Sally Napier Bueno in 2004, Missouri Daughters have an opportunity to nominate living veterans, with their permission, to receive special recognition from the Missouri State Society Daughters of the American Revolution, as our Patriot(s) of the Month, with our sincere gratitude and love.
