2009 President's Message
Welcome and thank you for visiting the web site of the West Virginia Society, Sons of the American Revolution!
If you are already active in the SAR, I hope you will find the information or contacts in the WVSSAR helpful. If you are considering membership in the SAR, please also accept this invitation to contact the membership contact in the Chapter nearest you or any of our state officers to answer your questions.
The SAR is the leading male lineage organization in America. Each SAR member has documented his direct lineage back to a patriot of the American Revolutionary War. If you qualify for membership, I look forward to welcoming you as a Compatriot. Membership in the SAR makes a strong positive statement about you patriotism, it affirms that your genealogy has been checked against the highest standard of authenticity, and it protects your research against possible loss and makes it available for research by others who share your lineage.
The WVSSAR is active throughout West Virginia. We meet to hear interesting speakers and for fellowship. We conduct historic celebrations and patriotic remembrances. We value our Nation's history, our patriotic ancestors and those who serve our County in the cause of freedom. Recognition of modern day patriots, both within the SAR and in the larger community is an important activity of ours. We invite you to join in that work.
Yours in Patriotic Service,
Lance Carter, President
West Virginia Society, Sons of the American Revolution
