Preserving Our Heritage Educating Our Youth
The Rockford Chapter NSDAR helps us remember and preserve our heritage by giving books to the library, commemorating Flag Day and observing Constitution Week. We also mark and clean patriot's graves, support the Women's Suffrage Plaza, research our ancestors, as well as learn about and document our local history.
The chapter also sponsors American History essay contests. We also give the DAR Good Citizen Award to area high school students for academic excellence, patriotic citizenship and leadership skills. Additionally, the Rockford Chapter NSDAR provides 3 scholarships to area high school seniors. |
Welcoming New American Citizens
The Rockford Chapter NSDAR welcomes new citizens at the Naturalization ceremonies held in Rockford. We provide each new citizen with a small American flag, a copy of the Pledge of Allegiance and a copy of the flag code. After the ceremony we host a welcome reception for the new citizens and their families.
The Rockford Chapter NSDAR has been welcoming new citizens for more than 50 years. |
