Organized on January 5, 2008 as a part of the National Society
Children of the American Revolution we draw our members from
Northern San Diego County. Southern Riverside and Orange
Counties.
The members chose the name "Red, White & Blue" because of the
patriotic qualities that are attached to the colors. These colors
originally were not associated with "The Stars and Stripes" as we
assume today. Charles Thompson, Secretary of the Continental
Congress in 1777, reported to Congress concerning the Seal of the
new Nation and stated: White signifies purity and innocence; Red,
hardiness & valor; and Blue, vigilance, perseverance and justice".
