Message is Heritage
We are the direct heirs of Confederate soldiers
The Sons of Confederate Veterans are the male descendants of the Soldiers and Sailors who fought for the Confederate States of America. We are a 501(c)(3) historic charity and a group of patriotic Americans dedicated to defending the good name of the Southern Soldier and honoring American history. We fundamentally reject racism in all its forms and denounce the use of Confederate images as symbols of white supremacy or hatred. We are non-political, high-minded, and faithfully respect the Constitution of the United States of America. Our goal is to dutifully fulfil the charge given to us the Lt. General Steven Dill Lee:
To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we submit 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 the principles he loved, and which made him glorious and which you also cherish. Remember, it is your duty to see that the true history of the South is presented to future generations.
OUR HEROES
Honoring the courageous Men in Gray who fought selflessly for their communities, may their bravery inspire future generations.

Our Ancestors may have been Outnumbered, Outgunned, and Outsupplied:
BUT NEVER OUTFOUGHT!
The Virginia Division is steadfastly protecting your American history and heritage across the Commonwealth of Virginia. Whenever possible, we resolve our differences with words, high-minded debate, and education. When civil discourse fails, we will continue the fight within the laws of the United States and Virginia. Your financial contribution is deeply appreciated.
The march of Providence is so slow, and our desires so impatient; the work of progress is so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble; the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged. It is history that teaches us to hope.
-General Robert E. Lee
