rejects any group whose actions tarnish or distort the image of the Confederate soldier or his reasons for fighting. The camp strongly endorse the SCV National Resolution of 2010:
“...the Sons of Confederate Veterans does denounce the use of the Confederate Battle Flag and any other Confederate symbol by any hate group and/or the Ku Klux Klan as the desecration of a symbol to which any hate group and/or the
Ku Klux Klan has no claim.”
"We must think historically that the South, with all her inherited institutions and her embracing of religious and ethical values, was a continuation of the finest gifts and practices of European culture."
Rev. Fr. Alister C. Anderson, SCV past Chaplain-in-Chief, 1999
Charge to the Sons of Confederate Veterans
"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,
