"To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans,
we submit 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
he loved and which made him glorious and which you also cherish.
Remember, it is your duty to see that the true history of
the South is presented to future generations."
