Today, the National SAR released three presentations about the events leading up to the July 4th 1776 Declaration of Independence.

These three presentations were distributed as a MS Powerpoint file.  For convenience, I have converted these to .pdf files to maximize your ability to view and share these presentations.

These are to the point, easy to read and give a quick introduction into the events leading up to each of these important milestone events.

If you are working on a supplemental application, the earliest date for Patriotic service recognition starts on April 19th, 1775 which happens to be the date of the Lexington / Concord “shot heard around the world” battle which started at approximately 1:00AM in the morning.

The first is:  The Boston Tea Party – 1773

National SAR – 250th – Boston Tea Party

The second is:  The First Continental Congress – 1774

National SAR – 250th – First Continental Congress

The third is:  Battle of Lexington / Concord – 1775

Our thanks to the National SAR sharing these 250th Anniversary presentations.

Hope you enjoy!
