What the chapter does
We locate and document the graves of Revolutionary War patriots in eastern Missouri, set bronze markers, restore stones that have weathered past reading, and file the research so the next generation does not start over.
We run essay and oration contests in area high schools, award an Eagle Scout scholarship, and bring the Constitution and the color guard into classrooms that ask for us.
We lay wreaths at veterans’ graves, post the colors at civic observances, and present commendation medals to law enforcement, firefighters and emergency responders.
2026 Chapter Appeal
Four hundred documented Revolutionary War patriots are buried in this state. Fewer than half have a marker. Our members find them, verify the record, and pay for the bronze.
More than four hundred Revolutionary War patriots are buried in eastern Missouri, and many of their graves carry no marker at all. Each bronze marker the chapter sets costs roughly two hundred dollars, and that is before the flag holder, the genealogical research needed to document the burial, and the dedication ceremony that follows. Your gift pays for markers, restores headstones that have weathered past reading, and funds the archive work that finds the next unmarked grave.
Where the money goes
Heritage
Bronze markers, research fees and the dedication ceremonies that follow.
Youth
Eagle Scout, oration and essay awards for students across the county.
Service
Medals, certificates and the Memorial Day flags placed at Jefferson Barracks.
Coming up
Guests are welcome at every regular meeting, with no obligation. Coffee and dessert from 6:00 pm, business at 6:30.
Ways to take part
01
A recurring gift of $25 a month funds one bronze marker a year.
02
Cemetery surveys, archive research, color guard and event setup — no experience needed.
03
Businesses and families may underwrite an award or a marker in a name.
My great-grandmother kept a name and a date on a card. The registrar turned it into a documented line in eleven weeks.
