Charge to the Sons of Confederate Veterans
"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 those 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."
Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, Commander General
United Confederate Veterans
New Orleans, Louisiana 1906
The SCV rejects any person or group whose actions tarnish or bring dishonor upon the Confederate soldier or his reason for fighting. This particularly applies to those groups and persons using our cherished flag as a symbol for their own dishonorable purposes.


ABOUT US
The Kirby Smith’s main purpose is to maintain
and defend Confederate Heritage and perpetuate the memory of the Southern
Confederate soldiers
who fought during the War Between the States
(1861-1865). The Camp is strictly a patriotic,
historical, educational, benevolent, non-political, and
non-sectarian entity bound by its by-laws and governed by the Sons of
Confederate Veterans Constitution.
Membership is open to any male 12 years of age and
older who can show descendants (Collateral or Lineal) from
a Confederate Soldier who served honorably. If these
attributes and ideals appeal to you, we encourage you to be a part of us.

Kirby-Smith’s newest weapon added to our arsenal is the replica of the
confederate submarine the H.L. Hunley . It was completed after long months
of fabrication by many camp members and we were honored to have the Hunley
featured as a cover article in the Florida Times Union newspaper on Veterans
day. The inaugural voyage of the H.L. Hunley was the 2012 Jacksonville Veterans'
Day Parade. The Hunley will see service in many events and be an important
part of your camp’s commitment to public education on Confederate History and
the sacrifices of our gallant ancestors.
There has already been several requests for it’s appearance and the
recruitment opportunities that it will provide camp 1209 will be endless.
