Compatriots, time to Rally the troops.

The Sesquicentennial of the War for Southern Independence

is upon us. The Sesquicentennial is the 150th anniversary

of the Confederate States of America. So who cares?

We do, the Sons of Confederate Veterans. You better know it that

the Yankees are gonna tell their side of the story, complete with

how The South was wrong to seek independence, how The South

was slave Mongols, and how nice and moral the Yankees were.

They will even use this time to attack our symbols and call for the

removal of Confederate Memorials. They have Washington DC, money and

the National Park service on their side. Yep, they are already spending

tax dollars on smudging our Confederate ancestors.   

This our opportunity to educate and garner

public support. This is our time to put on the uniform

and wave the Flag. Whatever we do we can say it's for the

Sesquicentennial and get away with it. So let's have some fun.

So get ready. We are still early in the ballgame. Make this discussion

a part of every meeting. Include the UDC and Order of the

Confederate Rose in planning events. 

Even if you don't wish to wear a gray uniform you can wave the Battle Flag.

Even if you don't wanna march with the troops you can stand in the

crowd waving a Confederate Flag and yell "Hurrah for Dixie".

There will so much going on between 2010-2015 you can have your pick. We will list 

all the events on this website that are brought to our attention.

Don't plan for one event, plan for as many as you can.

If you don't have a Confederate Flag (shame on you) contact me. I'll put

one in your hand. If you need a uniform we will post information

to this website. 

This is the time of your life. Were you here for the Centennial (1960-1965)?

If so, then you remember the Cause was overshadowed by the

civil rights movement. We even had Federal troops sent to various locations

in The South. We probably won't be here for the Bicentennial. So this is it.

"Wait for the Wagon" is a good southern song. We don't hafta wait any longer

as it is here. Get on board.

God Save the South
