WHEREAS, In the Providence of God, victory having crowned the

we, the survivors and descendants of those who participated in that contest,
have joined together to perpetuate its memories and victories, to collect and
secure for preservation, rolls, records, books and other documents relating
to that period; to encourage research and publication of historical data,
including memorials of patriots of that era in our National history; to care
for and, when necessary, assist in burying actual veterans of that struggle;
to cherish, maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom, and
foster true patriotism and love of country.
