What is the Sons of the American Revolution?
The Sons of the American Revolution is a historical, educational, and patriotic non-profit organization
dedicated to maintaining and extending the institutions of American freedom, an appreciation of true
patriotism, a respect for our national symbols, a value of American citizenship, and the unifying force of
e pluribus unum that has created, from the people of many nations, one nation and one people.
We do this by perpetuating the stories of patriotism, courage, sacrifice, tragedy, and triumph of the men
who achieved the independence of the American people in the belief that these stories are universal ones
of man's eternal struggle against tyranny, relevant to all time, and will inspire and strengthen each
succeeding generation as it too is called upon to defend our freedoms on the battlefield and in our public
institutions.
The Naples Chapter
The Naples Chapter is in it's 39th year of existence and will celebrate 39 years in Naples on March 31st,
2012. This achievement can be credited to the many people - both those who have chosen become
members of this Chapter and those who have served as it's leaders. The organization does not exist
without volunteers willing to serve in the various leadership capacities.
The credit for the organization of this Chapter is not given to any one person but to a number of
individuals who helped promote the Sons of the American Revolution and the need for a chapter locally.
We credit Compatriot William J. Porter who for several weeks in October 1972 advertised in the Naples
Daily News seeking members or those interesting in becoming so, to attend a luncheon at the Holiday
Inn on November 4th which he had arranged. In attendance were several State Officers and one
National Officer.
At that historic meeting Compatriot Joseph H. Bishop, Jr. was elected the first President of the then
"Provisional" Chapter. It is under his leadership that an application for the Naples Chapter was submitted
on January 29th, 1973.
The Naples Chapter was officially Chartered by the National Society on March 31st, 1973 with a total of
43 members. A Charter banquet and installation of officers was held at the Naples Beach Club on
November 3rd, 1973.
As the City of Naples and Collier County grow we expect that our membership too will grow and look
forward to a prosperous future serving the community and spreading the ideals for which the Sons of
the American Revolution was formed.
