Ft. Kearney Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution honors our veterans and community members through local, state, and national service programs. The DAR, founded in 1890 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a non-profit, non-political volunteer women's service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America's future through better education for children. DAR members volunteer millions of service hours annually in their local communities including supporting active duty military personnel and assisting veteran patients, awarding thousands of dollars in scholarships and financial aid each year to students, and supporting schools for underserved children with annual donations exceeding one million dollars.
As one of the most inclusive genealogical societies in the country, DAR boasts 185,000 members in 3,000 chapters across the United States and internationally. Any woman 18 years or older- regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution, and is eligible for membership.
"It's an incredible honor to be a member of DAR, and I'm proud of what my ancestors fought for. It's now my job to preserve that heritage!"
