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, </div> <div> and foster true patriotism and love of country. </div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Our Society meets Bi-Annually, With our Annual Meeting in or around Albany in the immediate Capital District </div> <div> on or around September 11th.  While our other Meeting is in the Spring throughout New York State.</div> <div> <A HREF="events___meetings.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Events Meetings"><U>Click here for our Events and Meetings</U></A>.</div> <bR> <div> The Society of the Second War with Great Britain in the State of New York is a State Society </div> <div> of the General Society of the War of 1812</div> <div> For More Information on our Parent Organization,</div> <div> the General Society Visit: </div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.societyofthewarof1812.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.societyofthewarof1812.org"><U><IMG SRC="1334e640.jpg" border=0 width="590" height="100" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.societyofthewarof1812.org " TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.societyofthewarof1812.org "><U>http://www.societyofthewarof1812.org</U></A></div> <div> <IMG SRC="011f50f0.gif" border=0 width="501" height="15" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> The Society of the Second War With Great Britain </div> <div> in the State Of New York, </div> <div> of The General Society of the War of 1812.</div> <div> Copyright 2010-2013.
