The Martha Washington Camp no.3 was a local lodge of the Daughters of America, an auxillary organization of the Patriotic
Order Sons of America.
The Patriotic Order Sons of America was founded by Dr. Reynell Coates in Philadelphia, PA on December 10, 1847, and still
exists. They promote patriotism, protection of and respect for the American Flag, education, and patriotism in general. They
were instrumental in the purchase and restoration of Washington's Headquarters in Valley Forge, the preservation of Admiral
Dewey's flagship Olympia, and it was through the efforts of the P.O.S. of A. that Flag Day was made a national holiday.
