Former Confederate General Stephen Dill Lee’s Commission to the SCV
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.
