Battle of Brooklyn Chapter Sons of the American Revolution
Patriot Grave Marking
The Sons of the American Revolution honors the memory of Revolutionary War patriots through the Patriot Grave Marking Program. This initiative identifies, preserves, and marks the final resting places of those who served or supported the cause of American independence. With formal ceremonies that often include prayers, wreath-layings, musket salutes, and the placement of a bronze SAR marker, the program ensures that the sacrifices of these patriots are remembered by future generations. It is both an act of commemoration and a living history lesson that connects communities to the founding ideals of our nation.
