We Serve Most of the World

The SAR has many members around the world. Some are U.S. citizens living outside the United States due to business or government assignments. Some are citizens of nations other than the United States, whose ancestors aided the cause of U.S. independence. If you or a friend or relative are living outside the United States and are interested in SAR membership, contact the Vice President General. The NSSAR site has further information on the requirements and procedures.

Our district is defined in NSSAR Bylaw 5 Section 2(b):
      "INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT: all territory outside of the other districts."
Thus it includes the entire globe except for the United States and Europe.
