It stands for the needed and honorable principle of national defense against foreign aggression. The principal feature of the order is the perpetuating of the names, as well as the services, of commissioned officers who served in either the war of the revolution, the war with Tripoli, the war of 1812, the Mexican war or the war with Spain and all future campaigns, recognized by the United States government as war with foreign powers. Veteran companionship is conferred upon such officers and hereditary companionship upon their direct lineal descendants in the male line. Mass. SOCIETY OF COLONIAL WARS.
