Preamble

 

We, the descendants of soldiers, sailors, or marines who served in the Army or Navy of the United States during the War of the Rebellion of 1861 to 1865, have formed this patriotic and fraternal Camp, for the purpose set forth in these by-laws; and in so doing pledge ourselves to commemorate our father's deeds; to render loyal service to our country, and to promote the maintenance of unqualified American citizenship with respect for and honor to the flag.

 

Our mission is to: 

Perpetuate the memory of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) and of the men who saved the Union in 1861 to 1865.

 

Assist in every practicable way in the preservation and making available for research of documents and records pertaining to the Grand Army of the Republic and its members.

 

Cooperate in doing honor to all those who have patriotically served our country in any war.

Teach patriotism and the duties of citizenship, the true history of our country, and the love and honor of our flag.

 

Oppose every tendency or movement that would weaken loyalty to, or make for the destruction or impairment of, our constitutional Union.

 

And

 

Inculcate and broadly sustain the American principles of representative government, of equal rights, and of impartial justice for all.

 

Foster Patriotism and Brotherhood through Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty.

 

Membership is open to all male descendants of Union Civil War veterans and any men who have an interest furthering the ideals of the order.
