American Spirit is the most amazing magazine, and the only one that I have ever read every single article of. Each is better and more interesting than the last.

When American Spirit arrives I cannot put it down until I’ve read it cover to cover. I am always reminded by the wonderful articles of what an outstanding organization the DAR truly is and all the important contributions the organization has made toward historic preservation.

I enjoyed the November/December 2007 issue of American Spirit immensely. The article on General Knox’s epic cannon haul is marvelous. What a journey—and what a wonderful magazine!

Thank you for producing such an outstanding magazine. I truly enjoy each issue.

About two years ago I shared our wonderful DAR magazine by giving a gift subscription to two members of my family. They have not yet stopped giving praise for such a great magazine. One was so impressed by it that she began to take a sincere interest in DAR, gathered up the necessary paperwork and is now a member! See what a blessing the magazine is ... it is helping bring in new members.
