The Spanish Alliance pin may be worn as commemorative pin or as a state of service pin according to the following guidance:
- Commemorative: Recognize the alliance the United States had with Spain during the American Revolution as Spain provided diplomatic, military, and financial support to the United States during the Revolutionary War.
- State of Service: Members whose DAR approved patriot ancestor's state of service is Spain, Spanish America, Mexico, Cuba, California, Florida, Louisiana, or Texas may wear this pin in recognition of that service. Approval required.
When this pin is worn as either a state of service or commemorative pin 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.
This pin measures 7/8" x 1".
Please choose between the 10K gold-filled or 24K gold-plated metal options.
