SCV Charge:
"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.
-- Gen. Stephen Dill Lee, UCV, at UCV/SCV Reunion, 1906
Salute to SC Flag:
"I salute the Flag of South Carolina and pledge to the Palmetto State,
love, loyalty and faith."
Salute to the Confederate Flag:
"I salute the Confederate Flag with affection, reverence and undying
devotion to the cause for which it stands."
DIXIE'S LAND
by Daniel Decatur Emmett
(1815-1904)
(1st verse)
I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten;
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land!
In Dixie's Land where I was born in,
Early on one frosty morning,
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land!
CHORUS:Then I wish I was in Dixie! Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie's Land I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie!
Away! Away! Away down South in Dixie!
Away! Away! Away down South in Dixie!
