Why Join the Sons of Confederate Veterans?
Our Mission
The purpose of The Sons of Confederate Veterans is to encourage the preservation of history, perpetuate the hallowed memories of brave men, to assist in the observance of Confederate Memorial Day, to aid and support all members, and to perpetuate the record of the services of every Southern soldier, sailor, and marine.
Our Charge
“To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we commit the vindication of the Cause for which we fought; to your strength will be given the defense of the Confederate soldier’s good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles he loved and which made him glorious and which you also cherish. “
