Red White & Blue Society

Organized on January 5, 2008 as a part of the National Society Children of the American Revolution we draw our members from Northern San Diego County Southern Riverside and  Orange Counties.

The members chose the name, “Red, White & Blue” because of the patriotic qualities that are attached to the colors.  These colors originally were not associated with “The Stars and Stripes”, as we assume today.  Charles Thompson, Secretary of the Continental Congress in 1777, reported to Congress concerning the Seal of the new Nation and stated:  "White signifies purity and innocence; Red, hardiness & valor; and Blue, vigilance, perseverance & justice".

July 23 -  United States Citizenship Day sponsored by the Children of the                 American Revolution and the La Jolla Chapter of the D.A.R.

Harriett Lothrop, a prominent citizen and 19th century children's author of Concord, MA, presented the idea for a children's organization to the Daughters of the American Revolution Continental Congress in 1895; it was then chartered by the United States Congress. Organized "for the training of young people in true patriotism and love of country," C.A.R. has promoted this vision to hundreds of thousands of members. These boys and girls are the leaders of yesterday, today, and tomorrow, now in a second century of keeping patriotism alive.

C.A.R., the nation's oldest, largest, patriotic youth organization, offers membership to anyone under the age of 21, lineally descended from someone who served in the Continental Army or gave material aid to the cause of freedom in the American Revolution.

“Good citizens cannot be made suddenly.
  They must grow...” Harriett Lothrop
