THE PURPOSE AND
OBJECTS OF THE SONS OF UNION VETERANS OF THE CIVIL
WAR
|
|
The Sons of Union
Veterans of the Civil War was formed to perpetuate the memory
of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the men who fought to
preserve the Union in the Civil War, (1861 to 1865); to assist
in every practicable way in the preservation of the documents
and records pertaining to the Grand Army of the Republic and
its members, and in making these documents and records
available for historical research; to cooperate in doing honor
to all who have patriotically served our country in all wars
in which she was involved; to teach patriotism, 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 cause the destruction or
impairment of, our constitutional Union; and to inculcate and
broadly sustain the American principals of representative
government, equal rights and impartial justice for all.
