ALBION – The Sons of the American Revolution visited seventh-graders in Albion Middle School last week and discussed solider life and gear, important events, uniforms, weaponry and other topics.
The SAR promotes patriotic, historical and educational themes, while perpetuating the memory of Revolutionary War patriots. Promoting fellowship among their descendants, they seek to inspire the community with a reverence for principles of government foundered by our forefathers.
This year is the 250th anniversary of when the United States of America declared its independence.
Luci Borello and Sutton Sanders, Albion eighth-graders, are shown with members of the Sons of the American Revolution.

Tim Archer, service-learning teacher at Albion, also said students will be unveiling four roadside historical markers this year in the county that highlight local connections to the Revolutionary War.
The markers were funded through the Pomeroy Foundation.
