The Sons
of Union Veterans of the Civil War is a patriotic society, whose
members are direct descendants, either through paternal or
maternal lines, of Soldiers, Sailors or Marines who were regularly
mustered and served honorably, or were honorably discharged from the
service during the War of Rebellion, 1861--1865. Associates(those without direct lineage from
Union Veterans) who hold to the principles and support
the objects of the organization are also
welcome.
THE PURPOSE AND OBJECTS OF THE SONS OF
UNION VETERANS OF THE CIVIL WAR
The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil
War was formed to perpetuate the memory of the Grand Army of
the Republic and of the men who fought to preserve the Union
in the Civil War, (1861 to 1865); to assist in every
practicable way in the preservation of the documents and
records pertaining to the Grand Army of the Republic and its
members, and in making these documents and records available
for historical research; to cooperate in doing honor to all
who have patriotically served our country in all wars in which
she was involved; to teach patriotism, the duties of
citizenship, the true history of our country and the love and
honor of our Flag; to oppose every tendency or movement that
would weaken loyalty to, or cause the destruction or
impairment of, our constitutional Union; and to inculcate and
broadly sustain the American principals of representative
government, equal rights and impartial justice for
all.

monument rededication or put your event in our calendar please
