"To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we will 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 which he loved and which you love also, and those ideals which made him glorious and which you also cherish."
Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, Commander General,
United Confederate Veterans,
New Orleans, Louisiana, April 25, 1906.
Our Camp meets the third Monday of each month September through June at 7:00 p.m. at The Depot in Granbury, Texas. Our meetings are always open to the public and we encourage our members to bring guests.
I look forward to hearing from you
Commander Wilson
The Sons of Confederate Veterans is a genealogical-historical organization dedicated to preserving the history and honoring the
memory of our Confederate ancestors. The SCV is the direct heir of the United Confederate Veterans,
and the oldest hereditary organization for male descendants of Confederate soldiers. Organized at Richmond, Virginia, in 1896,
the SCV continues to serve as a historical, patriotic, and non-political organization dedicated to insuring that a true history
of the 1861-65 period is preserved.
