Preserving Our Heritage The Rockford Chapter NSDAR helps us remember and preserve our heritage by preserving native wildflowers at the Heritage Garden at Midway Village, giving books to the library, commemorating Flag Day and observing Constitution Week.

Welcome reception for new citizens.
Welcoming New Citizens The Rockford Chapter NSDAR welcomes new citizens at the Naturalization ceremonies held in Rockford, usually once or twice a year. 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 every year for more than 50 years.
