"He who forgets his ancestors is unworthy
to be remembered by his descendants!"

Our purpose is to fulfill the
Charge to the Sons of Confederate Veterans:

"To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we submit 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. Remember, it is your duty to see that the true history
of the South is presented to future generations."

Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, Commander General
United Confederate Veterans
New Orleans, Louisiana 1906
