The counterpart of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) is the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW), an outgrowth of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), the organization formed of Union veterans after the conclusion of the Civil War.
The SUVCW was created in 1881,
Currently, membership is 6,360 as compared to the SCV's 31,821.
We had the head of the local SUV camp attend our Lee-Jackson Dinner earlier this year.
I'm sure the SUV must be pleased that the GAR building in Aurora, Il., recently received $50,000 for preservation in the American Express Partners in Preservation contest. I know I voted for it.
