Welcome to Camp #87
On behalf of all of the members of Longstreet-Zollicoffer Camp
87, I personally welcome you to the website of the second largest and
one of the fastest growing SCV camps in the world. Our camp is dedicated
to preserving the true history of the South and the War for Southern
Independence. If you have an
interest in honoring your ancestor and/or learning more about the War
Between the States, we invite you to consider membership in the Sons of
Confederate Veterans.
The Sons of the Confederate Veterans is open to any male
descendent of a confederate veteran regardless of race, creed, color, or
religious preference. If you are
uncertain as to your ancestor’s service, we will try to assist you.
Even if you do not have an ancestor who was in the Confederate
Army or Navy, we can welcome you as an Associate Member.
Our Camp accepts all whose hearts
are in "Dixie!"
If you are looking for a hate group, look elsewhere! We only want
men who Love the South, its traditions, its culture, and its people.
Camp 87 meets once each month with a variety of planned
activities. Our two largest
events each year are: The Robert
E. Lee/Stonewall Jackson Dinner, held each January, to celebrate the
birthdays of these great Southern Generals; and, Confederate Memorial
Day which we co-sponsor with the United Daughters of the Confederacy
each June to honor all confederate heroes.
Customarily, we participate in
local parades and festivals, locate and mark confederate graves, provide
historical presentations, work on preservation projects, and perform
other civic duties. Please review
our Calendar on this website for a listing of meetings and events.
If the Sons of Confederate Veterans sounds like an organization
you would like to join, please contact one of the officers who are
listed on this site in the folder labeled "Contacts.”
I look forward to meeting you.
Very Respectfully,
Earl
Smith, Commander
Sons of
the Confederate Veterans, Camp 87
