Committees

Patriot and Compatriot Grave MarkingCommittee
Chairman: Keith Rouleau, email: rouleaukeith@aol.com
This committee is responsible for identifying unmarked Patriot Graves and coordinating a formal Grave Marking ceremony. These ceremonies typically involve members in uniform, a color guard to present and retire colors, a musket salute (if available), playing of taps, and placement of a bronze NSSAR Patriot medallion. If a descendant of the Patriot can be located they are invited to speak about the Patriot and his family. When a Compatriot passes, a NSSAR Member marker may be placed on his grave. The process of placing a Compatriot Grave marker mirrors that of a Patriot but is typically less formal.
