Compatriots,
During the late 19th and 20th centuries, Confederate and Union veterans had their separate organizations, but maintained fraternal relations between the two. For many years, their descendant organizations have done the same. In fact, when our beloved battle flag and Confederate monuments came under attack, the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) supported us in recent years. This is no longer the case.
At their recent National Encampment, the SUVCW issued their new official position on monument protection. They have removed all references to Confederate memorials and our beloved battle flag. It appears that they have become weak-kneed in the face of the “Cancel Culture” and seem to believe if they disassociate themselves from their fraternal brothers of the South that they and their monuments will be overlooked. We know this is not the case as ALL things that are “Traditionally American” and not just Southern are under attack as “those people” attempt to rewrite history to suit their agenda.
If we are asked about the SUVCW's stance on these matters, just mention the fact that they state that “the SUVCW supports and preserves all memorials to American veterans and since the Federal Government have recognized our brave Confederate ancestors since 1903 as ‘American Veterans’ then they too are American memorials.”
Just as our ancestors fought alone during the War for Southern Independence, we find ourselves once again alone as we face a war of cultural genocide. We knew it would come to this, but we will endure and persevere as we fight this war together as brothers. Please pray for myself and the General Executive Council as we go forward once again into the breach that we make the decisions that are needed to advance the Cause and continue the Charge that was given to us.
Deo Vindice,
Larry McCluney, Jr.
