The C.A.R. Creed

I believe in the Children of the American Revolution as an organization for the training of young people in true patriotism and love of country, in order that they shall be better fitted for American citizenship.

As a descendant of the Founders of my Country, I believe that my birthright brings a certain responsibility to carry on their work, and that as the boys and girls of 1776 took an active part in the War for Independence, so the boys and girls of today have a definite work to do for their Country.

As a member of the Children of the American Revolution, I believe it is my to duty to use my influence to create a deeper love of country, a loyal respect for our Constitution and a reverence for its Flag, among the young people with whom I come in contact.

The C.A.R. Song

Written by Martha Parkinson Mills, the C.A.R. song is an uplifting song reflecting those ideals that American patriots lived, fought and died for; in order to save our nation from tyranny.

 

We're members of the C.A.R.
 A great and mighty band
 We pledge our might for the cause of right
 For home and native land.
Chorus: We love thee, Old Glory,
 And we ever strive to be
 Most worthy descendants
 Of worthy ancestry;
 We love thee, Old Glory,
 And our hearts are staunch and true,
 We love each stripe and ev'ry star
 Of our flag, red, white, and blue.
 Those great and noble patriots,
 Offered up their blood,
 To save a new born nation,
 From a cruel tyrant's rod.
Chorus: We love thee, Old Glory,
 And we ever strive to be
 Most worthy descendants
 Of worthy ancestry;
 We love thee, Old Glory,
 And our hearts are staunch and true,
 We love each stripe and ev'ry star
 Of our flag, red, white, and blue.
 The blue calls out to us, "Be true,"
 The white calls out, "Be pure,"
 The red, "Be brave, their blood they gave,
 That this land might endure."
Chorus: We love thee, Old Glory,
 And we ever strive to be
 Most worthy descendants
 Of worthy ancestry;
 We love thee, Old Glory,
 And our hearts are staunch and true,
 We love each stripe and ev'ry star
 Of our flag, red, white, and blue.
