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.
