"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."
