As Sons of Confederate Veterans, it is our duty to see that the true history of the south is presented to future generations. What better place to begin than with our ancestors and the role they played in the War for Southern Independence. The image below is the "Lion of Atlanta" that memorializes the Unknown Confederate dead at Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta, Georgia. Its symbolism speaks for itself. In addition to the known and unknown dead who died for a righteous cause---self-defense, self-government and self-determination---we honor those who survived and who endured the occupation and the hardships to rebuild the South and to raise their children as proud Americans. Almighty God, grant us the strength and wisdom to defend their good name, guard their history, emulate their virtues and to perpetuate and cherish those principles they loved and for which they sacrificed. Grant us faith in the Latin motto, Deo Vindice. "God Will Vindicate."
Not for fame or reward |
