Sons of the American Revolution: Let’s not forget our history

The Sons of the American Revolution have been busy this past month presenting each public school with a plaque commemorating Joseph Warren for whom the county is named. This is just one of the many projects they have done in communities to promote our history, our patriotism and freedoms. Some of the SAR members came by the Royal Examiner’s studio and spoke with publisher Mike McCool. Let’s meet some of the members:
