suvcw Appomattox Camp No. 2 recognizes deserving Jrotc cadets!

The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War preamble reads – “We, the

descendants of soldiers, sailors, or marines who served in the Army or Navy of the United States of America during the War of Rebellion of 1861 to 1865, have formed this patriotic and fraternal Order, for the purposes set forth in the Constitution; and in so doing pledge ourselves to commemorate our fathers deeds; to render loyal service to our County, and to promote the maintenance of unqualified American citizenship with respect for and honor to the flag."

   By honoring deserving cadets, we help promote the maintenance of American citizenship because it will be these young people who will eventually serve in our Nation’s military, under the flag our forefathers fought to preserve. We believe it right to award those who have stepped forward to accept the challenge of leadership in defending our Nation’s flag, principles and freedom. By Honoring those who serve today, we show our respect for those who have served in all other wars in the past.

THE CRITERIA FOR RECEIVING OUR AWARD:

Our definition of a deserving cadet is one who “shows a high degree of patriotism to his/her Nation and has demonstrated a high degree of academic performance and leadership.”
