Charge to the Sons of Confederate Veterans

"To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we will commit 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 you love also, and those ideals which made him glorious and which you also cherish."

Salute to the Flag of Virginia

I salute the Flag of Virginia with reverence and patriotic devotion to the "Mother of States and Statesmen" which it represents - the "Old Dominion" where Liberty and Independence were born.
