It is a thrill to share highlights of the National Society’s new effort to raise awareness of the courage and sacrifice of the Patriots who won America’s independence through the DAR America 250 Patriots Marker project announced during the 129th Continental Congress.
The program has been established to honor the memory of the men and women with whom we have a sacred compact to ensure that these United States of America continue as a government of the people, by the people, for the people. It is also designed to raise appreciation amongst current and future generations of Americans of our Patriots’ sacrifice for their benefit.

“Dennis Hoch said. It will go from the very beginning of the revolution all the way through to the current. History engulfs the walls from the floor to the ceiling at the Military History Center in Broken Arrow. We've got close to 3000 artifacts actually on display,” Hoch said.
Those artifacts cover conflicts from the 1700s to 2022.”
