NSSAR - ROTC/JROTC Honor Legion

ROTC/JROTC Honor Legion

The Sons of the American Revolution are direct descendants of those patriots that achieved the independence of the American people. The objectives of our organization are intended to perpetuate a more profound reverence for the principles of the government founded by our forefathers.

Such were the ideals of Captain Alden Partridge, who is considered the founder of the Reserve Officer Training Corps program in the United States. He founded the ROTC because his father, Samuel Partridge, a Soldier of the Revolution had concern for the newly founded United States and its lacking a development resource for qualified military officers.

SAR supports all programs that encourage historical research, foster true patriotism, and maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom. We strongly support the United States ROTC/JROTC as exemplary programs of these ideals.
