As a member of the Sons of the American Revolution I can tell you that we always start with the Pledge, after our Color Guard posts the Colors. There are several other ceremonial points in our meeting related to our respect for the USA, the freedoms we enjoy as citizens, and our history. There is much more that could be said,but this is a good summary.
