"...I
would sooner die a thousand deaths rather than betray a friend or be false to duty."
Pvt. Sam Davis, First Tennessee
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 which 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."
General Stephen Dill Lee
