If you are interested in perpetuating the ideals that motivated your Confederate ancestor(s), the SCV needs you. The memory and reputation of the Confederate soldier, as well as the motives for his suffering and sacrifice, are being consciously distorted by some in an attempt to alter history. A unique part of our nation's cultural heritage will cease to exist unless the descendants of Southern soldiers resist those efforts. Join today and become a member of a growing Southern heritage organization with more than 30,000 members preserving Confederate symbols, advancing southern traditions and celebrating our second century of operation.
