Welcome to the Tennessee Society

Sons of the American Revolution

TNSSAR members can be found across the state within our six Districts comprising 23 active local Chapters. Our Society supports and works closely with the Children of the American Revolution and The Daughters of the American Revolution promoting American Heritage.

Our Mission: Perpetuating the stories of patriotism, courage, sacrifice, tragedy, and triumph of the men and women who achieved the independence of the American people in the belief that these stories are universal ones of man's eternal struggle against tyranny, relevant to all time, and will inspire and strengthen each succeeding generation as it too is called upon to defend our freedoms on the battlefield and in our public institutions, including the stories of those brave men and women who came to this Tennessee wilderness with little more than their raw grit and determination and proceeded to claw out a gracious society of which WE are the recipients.

Independence Day Message
2021





Compatriots,
   In thinking about and preparing for this year’s Independence Day I was reminded of an old joke – Does England have a 4th of July? – Of course they do, but obviously, it’s not the same as ours! Unfortunately, some only see Independence Day as a time for hotdogs, homemade ice cream, cold beverages and fireworks. And, while there is nothing wrong with enjoying any of these things in moderation, We celebrate the 4th of July as our Independence Day – to celebrate American Independence and pay tribute to our Patriot Ancestors. While we will never experience the hardships they endured gaining our independence we can honor their bravery and patriotism. As we celebrate Independence Day, let us be mindful of our Patriot Ancestors’ service to our Nation, and let us rededicate ourselves to Patriotic principles they held sacred – duty, honor and country. Let us be ever mindful of, and emulate, our ancestors’ service and love for this country.

Look forward to seeing you in-person at the 31 JULY BOG (BOG MTG is open to all members). Take to heart the mission statement found on our NSSAR web site:
*  Remembering Our Past - By honoring those who served or assisted the colonies during the Revolutionary War. *  Promoting Core Values - By protecting our Constitution and perpetuating American ideals and traditions.
*  Shaping Young Minds - By educating our youth about the Constitution and those who developed the American ideals and traditions.
The current plan for in person state level meetings to be held at the Franklin Marriott is as follows:
31 JUL 21 BOG
23 OCT 21 BOG
22 JAN 22 BOG
11-13 MAR 22 Annual Conference
Please plan to attend!
