E Pluribus Unum
Amy Sunleaf, Chairman
The E Pluribus Unum Committee was established on
June 29, 2025, under the Storage Administration.
The E Pluribus Unum Committee supports DAR’s
mission to perpetuate the legacy of all the men
and women who supported the cause of independence.
Support this committee by:
- Expanding members’ knowledge about
under-represented Patriots, i.e., African
American, Indigenous, non-European,
mixed-heritage descent, or female. These may
be referred to as Forgotten Patriots.
- Spotlight under-represented Patriots during
Black History Month in February and Women's
History Month in March.
- Present a Forgotten Patriots Minute
at chapter meetings or in chapter newsletters.
(Pre-written 2025-2026 minutes are being
compiled and will be located on the
committee’s web page.) Members may create
their own minutes or utilize the many
resources available on the internet.
- Highlight your community's under-represented
Patriots.
- Offer training and support to members on
hard-to-prove Patriots.
Promote the mission of the E Pluribus Unum
Committee in your community by raising awareness
about DAR and its mission of highlighting all
Revolutionary War patriots by assisting
prospective members and the public in discovering
the unique backgrounds and distinct perspectives
of their Revolutionary ancestors.
Watch for weekly posts highlighting Forgotten
Patriots on the Iowa DAR private Facebook
page. These can also be used as E Pluribus Unum
minutes in chapter meetings and newsletters.

committee. |
