About
the Patton Chapter
WELCOME--
The General George S. Patton, Jr., Chapter of the California Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution is dedicated to patriotic,
historical, and educational activities, including the perpetuation
of the memory of those who, by their services or sacrifices during
the war of the American Revolution, achieved the independence
of the American people.
The Sons of the American Revolution was established to

Patriots;
- inspire those descendants and the community at large with
a more profound reverence for the principles of the government
founded by our forefathers;
- encourage historical research in relation to the American
Revolution;
- acquire and preserve the records of the individual services
of the patriots of the war, as well as documents, relics,
and landmarks;
- mark the scenes of the Revolution by appropriate memorials;
- celebrate the anniversaries of the prominent events of the
war and of the Revolutionary period;
- foster true patriotism;
- maintain and defend the institutions of American freedom,
and
- carry out the purposes expressed in the preamble of the
Constitution of our country and the injunctions of Washington
in his farewell address to the American people.
