michigan SAR Color Guard
The Color Guard of the Michigan Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (MISSAR) plays a significant role in the organization, reflecting a deep historical connection to the military traditions of the 18th and 19th centuries.
Currently, the MISSAR Color Guard has adopted the "Washington Guard" uniform, which is the same uniform worn by General George Washington's personal Life Guard during the American Revolutionary War. This uniform choice reflects a commitment to historical accuracy and pays homage to the spirit of the era. While the "Washington Guard" uniform is the standard, the MISSAR Color Guard also allows for the wearing of other uniform styles that are consistent with the period, providing a degree of flexibility while maintaining a connection to the historical traditions and significance of the Colors in the military context of the American Revolution.
