SAR Foundation Streamer Awards

“A SAR Foundation Streamer Award, authorized in 2009, is awarded at each Leadership Conference to those state societies that contribute a minimum of $1,000 and those chapters that contribute $500 during the 12-month period that ends with the conclusion of the Congress of that year. The donation must be made to support the Center for Advancing America's Heritage and must be made with a state society or chapter check. Should an individual wish to make a donation toward a streamer award for his state society or chapter, he must make his donation to the state society or chapter, who can then forward a state society or chapter check to the Foundation."

 

The streamer is made of cloth, carries the National colors with lettering in blue down the middle to state “SUPPORT OF THE CENTER” and the year presented. It is approximately 2 inches wide and 3 feet in length, with a grommet in the end so that the award may be affixed to the top of the state society’s or chapter’s flagstaff.

The other combatant nations, France, Spain and the Dutch Republic had separate agreements; for details of these, and the negotiations which produced all four treaties. Its territorial provisions were "exceedingly generous" to the United States in terms of enlarged boundaries.
