Peter Kaye speaks with Tim Middlebrook, President of the Empire State Sons of the American Revolution, serving New York State and the Capital Region, providing historical education and patriotism programs to local communities and future generations. Middlebrook discusses the organization’s programs, including Revolutionary War grave markings, color guard ceremonies, genealogy support, and community education. Middlebrook also shares the SAR’s mission to inspire interest in local Revolutionary War history and its statewide initiatives tied to America’s 250th anniversary. He explains how technology and partnerships help identify and honor forgotten patriots across the Capital Region and the state. Middlebrook mentions that the group has helped place more than 250 Revolutionary War grave markers statewide—many in small, overlooked cemeteries—bringing hidden history to light. (ess-sar.org)
