Veterans

As descendants of America’s very First Veterans, we are eternally grateful for the sacrifices our veterans have made throughout our history to secure the freedoms we all enjoy today.
The Washington Society of the Sons of the American Revolution honors our veterans by recognizing and awarding medals to members for their service, attend Veteran Day parades & events, participate in veteran funerals, and memorialize our veterans.

veteran recognition

We recognize members who served in the U.S. Armed Forces or other military forces allied with the United States. Members of the society have answered their country's call in every major American conflict from the battle of Lexington & Concord on April 19, 1775 to the present day. Several of our members have received our nation's highest award — the Medal of Honor. We currently have eight veteran corps:
  • Spanish – American War Veterans Corps
  • World War I Veterans Corps
  • World War II Veterans Corps
  • Korean Service Veterans Corps
  • Vietnam War Veterans Corps
  • Special Ops Veterans Corps
  • Southwest Asia (Middle East/Afghanistan) Veterans Corps
  • Military Service Veterans Corps
