Our country stands on the eve of a grand anniversary, and DAR is preparing to celebrate in a big way! This pin, the eleventh in a Limited 250th Anniversary series, commemorates the Battles of Lexington & Concord 250th Anniversary.
On the morning of April 19, 1775, more than 4,000 brave minute men and militia answered the call to serve against the British in the Battles of Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts. The first shot fired, etched in history as “the shot heard ‘round the world,” thanks to Ralph Waldo Emerson's 1837 poem "Concord Hymn,” marks the outbreak of the Revolutionary War.
When this commemorative pin is worn by DAR members on the official Insignia ribbon, it must be placed according to the most current "Placement of DAR Insignia and Pins on Official Ribbon" document found on the Insignia Committee webpage.
When not worn on the official ribbon, DAR members may only wear this commemorative pin as a brooch, not on a right-side ribbon. When non-members wear this commemorative pin, they should demonstrate pride in all DAR stands for by wearing it only when dressed nicely and in a respectful manner.
Show your support of DAR's mission by adding the Battles of Lexington & Concord 250th Anniversary Pin to your Insignia collection today!
This gold-plated pin measures 1 1/8" wide by 1 1/4" tall.
