Auxiliary Principles: A firm belief and trust in Almighty God and realization
that under his beneficent care and guidance the free institutions of our
land, by the assistance and sacrifice of our veterans, have been
preserved and the integrity and life of the Nation maintained.
True allegiance to the
government of the United States of America, and a respect for devotion
and fidelity to its Constitution and Laws, with a firm opposition to
anything that may tend to weaken loyalty, or in any manner impair the
efficiency and permanency of our nation.
Auxiliary Purpose: We strive to assist the Sons of Union Veterans in keeping
alive the memories of our ancestors and their sacrifices for the
maintenance 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. Our Auxiliary members, on
national, state, and local levels participate in ceremonies and
programs to commemorate events and honor leaders-and personalities of
the Civil War period and events important to the history to the Grand
Army of the Republic. Representatives of the National Organization
attends wreath laying ceremonies at the impressive Lincoln Memorial on
Lincoln's birthday, February 12th in Washington, DC; Lincoln Death Day
ceremonies at Lincoln's Tomb, Springfield, Illinois on April 15th;
Cathedral of the Pines, Ridge, New Hampshire. In November we travel to
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania for Remembrance weekend. We participate in the
parade and wreath laying ceremony at the monument of Albert Woolson,
the last surviving member of the Grand Army of the Republic.
