First North Carolina Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution. Chartered 21 April 1928 in Asheville, North Carolina, and later became the Blue Ridge Chapter.

Many thanks to Ms. Walsh of the Dana Elementary School for allowing our Blue Ridge Chapter Color Guard to be a part of the celebration regarding the installation of the Constitution of the United States which occurred on September 17, 1787. We hope your students will have a better understanding of the history that happened back then that established the greatest nation we all now are a part of.

The above are the Blue Ridge Chapter Color Guard members who were in attendance at the Dana Elementary celebration on September 16, 2022.
