Gen. David F. Jamison Camp 1954
Spartanburg, South Carolina ![]() "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. Are you also ready
to die for your country? Is your life worthy to be remembered
along with theirs? Do you choose for yourself this greatness of
soul?"
Not in the clamor of the crowded street,
Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, But in ourselves are triumph and defeat.1 Gen. Stephen
Dill Lee, UCV, at UCV/SCV Reunion, 1906 |

". . . After a series of successes and victories, which covered our arms with glory, we have recently met with serious disasters. But in the heart of a people resolved to be free these disasters tend but to stimulate to increased resistance."
