Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War
The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War is a fraternal organization dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of veteran heroes who fought and worked to save the Union in the American Civil War. Organized in 1881 and chartered by Congress in 1954, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War is the legal heir and successor to the Grand Army of the Republic.
.
We, the descendants of soldiers, sailors, or Marines who served in
the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, or Revenue Cutter Service of the United States of
America during the War of the Rebellion of 1861 to 1865, have formed this
patriotic and fraternal Order, for the purpose and objects in our Constitution
set forth; and in so doing pledge ourselves to commemorate our fathers' deeds;
to render loyal service to our Country, and to promote the maintenance of
unqualified American citizenship with respect for and honor to the flag.
Our purpose and objective is to perpetuate the memory of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the men who saved the Union 1861 to 1865; to assist in every practicable way in the preservation and making available for research of documents and records pertaining to the Grand Army of the Republic and its members; to cooperate in doing honor to all who have patriotically served our country in any war; to teach patriotism, and 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 make for the destruction or impairment of our constitutional Union; and to inculcate and broadly sustain the American principles of representative government, of equal rights, and of impartial justice for all.
