Maj. Gen A.R. Wright

For more than a century, the Sons of Confederate Veterans has endeavored to carry out the charge given us by our ancestors, never better related than in the words of Lt. General Stephen D. Lee, Commander General of the United Confederate Veterans, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1906 :

"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."
