The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) is a volunteer, non-profit, charitable, fraternal, patriotic and educational organization similar to the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), which was the largest Union Civil War veterans' organization. Membership in the SUVCW is open to male descendants of soldiers, sailors, or marines who served honorably in the Union Army or Navy during the War of the Rebellion, 1861- 1865. Those who do not have a Union ancestor, but who still wish to support the Order, may join as an Associate.
