2026 Chapter Appeal

Help us put a marker on every patriot grave in Missouri.

Four hundred documented Revolutionary War patriots are buried in this state. Fewer than half have a marker. Our members find them, verify the record, and pay for the bronze.

Patriot Grave Marker Fund

More than four hundred Revolutionary War patriots are buried in eastern Missouri, and many of their graves carry no marker at all. Each bronze marker the chapter sets costs roughly two hundred dollars, and that is before the flag holder, the genealogical research needed to document the burial, and the dedication ceremony that follows. Your gift pays for markers, restores headstones that have weathered past reading, and funds the archive work that finds the next unmarked grave.

In their words

My great-grandmother kept a name and a date on a card. The registrar turned it into a documented line in eleven weeks.
