Revolutionary Grave Program

 

The Fairfax Resolves Chapter sponsors and attends grave marking ceremonies to recognize the contributions made by our patriot ancestors. Marking ceremonies include a brief talk on the life and times of the Patriot as well as a commemorative wreath laying.

  

The National Society sells brass markers which can be placed at the graves of Revolutionary Patriots, a visible symbol to the public that the person buried at that place aided in the American Revolution.
