MOTTO : "Liberty, Fraternity, and Unity."
The National Society United States Daughters of 1812, was organized on January 8, 1892, on the anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans. The society requires lineal descent from an ancestor who rendered military, naval, or civil service between the close of the American Revolutionary War in 1783 and the close of the War of 1812 in 1815. Military service may be in any one of sixteen recognized engagements between those dates.
