WAR We strive to assist the Sons of Union Veterans in keeping alive the memories of our ancestors and their sacrifices for the mainte- nance of the Union; to caring for helpless and disabled Veterans; to properly observe Memorial Day; to aid and assist worthy and needy members of our Auxiliary; to instill true patriotism and love of country; and to spread and sustain the doctrine of equal rights, universal liberty and justice to all.
