Welcome
We are delighted that you would like to learn about the Stamp Defiance Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR or DAR). We are always honored to share information with those who are interested in DAR, and we continually look for new opportunities to promote DAR objectives within our local community. Our members are committed to promoting historic preservation, education, and patriotism. We enjoy our volunteer activities and are proud to make a difference in the lives of our community, state, and country.
In addition to our regular meetings, our chapter sponsors educational awards and scholarships. We support Crossnore Communities for Children and volunteer with our veterans. We honor our American Revolutionary War ancestors, recognize outstanding citizens in our area, and sponsor the American History Essay Contest.
Each member is a direct descendant of a Patriot of the American Revolutionary War.
Our chapter welcomed home veterans who were on the Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. We proudly sponsored a veteran on the flight so they can witness the monuments and the appreciation of their service.
On February 27, 1776, American Patriots defeated the British at the Battle of Moores Creek Bridge near Wilmington, North Carolina. Our chapter participates in the annual wreath-laying ceremony each year.
Education
Each year our chapter recognizes outstanding Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (JROTC) cadets at our local schools. Each cadet receives a financial award as well as a certificate and medal.
