This was when I became a member of the Williamsburg, VA chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, using my lineage of descent from Col. James Callaway (1736-1809) of Bedford Co., VA. There are over a dozen other ancestors I could have used as well. I applaud SAR and similar organizations for their efforts at honoring veterans of all wars and the current military, but I wish they would be less celebratory and more open-minded or cognizant of the wrongdoings of our forebears.
