HERITAGE OF HONOR
The SCV is a voluntary organization of both direct and collateral descendants of those who served honorably in the Confederate Army and Navy. It is patriotic, historical, educational, benevolent, non-political, and non-sectarian. It’s purpose in part is to aid and encourage the recording and teaching with impartiality, all Southern history and achievement from Jamestown to this present era, seeing to it especially that the events of the War Between the States are authentically and clearly written, and that all documents, relics and mementos produced and handed down by the active participants therein are properly treasured and preserved for posterity, and to aid and assist in the erection of suitable and enduring monuments and memorials to all southern valor, military and civil, wherever done and wherever found, particularly stressing that our heroic confederate ancestors, who by their sacrifice perpetuated unto us and our descendants that glorious heritage of valor, chivalry and honor which we now hold and venerate; and to instill into our descendants a devotion to and reverence for the principals represented by the Confederate States of America, to the honor, glory and memory of our grandfathers who fought in that cause.
The Capt. Hardy Smith Camp, No 104, is the lead organization in the effort to save the Capt. Hardy Smith House and use the house to honor all area veterans. The house, when restored, will also serve as a permanent meeting place for the camp.
At the national level, its members acting through elected delegates to an annual convention govern the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The General Executive Council, composed of elected and appointed officers, conducts the organization’s business between conventions. The administrative work of the SCV is conducted at the national headquarters, "Elm Springs", a restored ante-bellum home at Columbia, Tennessee. All members receive the Confederate Veteran, a bi-monthly national magazine that contains in-depth historical articles on the war along with news affecting Southern heritage.
