Monthly programs support the national objectives of history, education, and patriotism. Thomas Nelson Chapter members participate in naturalization ceremonies handing out flags to new citizens, create displays at local libraries to observe and promote Constitution Week, instruct the public in correct flag etiquette by handing out flag codes, protect natural resources through education and conservation efforts, and support local literacy programs, veteran hospitals, and DAR schools by volunteering and raising funds. Chapter members encourage good citizenship; service to God, Home, and Country; respect for the Flag of the United States of America; respect for the history and government of the United States of America; and, respect for oneself by participating in educational activities.
