Paula Pratt Renkas Massachusetts Daughters of the American Revolution 2019-2022
Paula was born and raised in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, little did she know that this town would hold special meaning to her later in her life. She was told by a Great Aunt in her pre-teen years that her Paternal Grandmother’s family had very long roots. Unfortunately, she did not investigate that fact until many years later. She became a NSDAR member in April 2004 after pursuing her Aunt’s tidbit. She discovered that the Goodnow Family arrived in 1638 as one of the founding families of Sudbury, Massachusetts. Her line moved westward in Massachusetts and beyond, but the Patriot Ancestor on which she joined, Abner Goodnow, posted his marriage bans in Shrewsbury during the Revolutionary years. Paula also holds Italian heritage of which she is also immensely proud.
She has served her Mansfield Chapter as Chapter Vice-Regent, Chapter Regent, Recording Secretary and House Curator, and fundraising Co-Chair, her chapter having a Chapter House. She has held state committee positions, District Three Director, New Horizons Coordinator, and State Vice Regent.
She has been married to her loving and supportive husband Richard for 36 years. They both enjoy travelling the world but also enjoy the seashore of nearby Cape Cod.

THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Francis Bellamy
SALUTE TO THE FLAG OF ALABAMA
Flag of Alabama, I salute thee; to thee I pledge my allegiance, my service, and my life.
THE AMERICAN’S CREED
I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies. William Tyler Page
THE PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Gouverneur Morris
THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war’s desolation. Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.” And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave! Francis Scott Key
