Other Awards and Medals
DAR Distinguished Citizen Medals are awarded to emergency first responders, emergency health responders, active duty military and veterans of the armed forces, and citizens who have contributed to the defense and security of the nation, state or local community in an exceptional manner.
Community Service Awards are presented on local, state, and national levels to individuals and groups who have contributed to their communities in an outstanding voluntary, heroic, civil, or benevolent manner, or who have participated in or organized community activities.
DAR Good Citizens Awards and Scholarships recognize and rewards individuals who possess the qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism in their homes, schools, and communities. These students are selected by their teachers and peers because they demonstrate these qualities to an outstanding degree.
DAR Youth Citizenship Medals foster among schoolchildren a greater appreciation of the qualities of citizenship that Americans must possess if our country is to remain sovereign and independent.
