"I am very proud of my ancestors who served in the War for Southern Independence, and of all the men from the South who gave their all in hopes of creating a new and better government in the South; a government formed as our Founding Fathers had envisioned. So many men gave the ultimate sacrifice, and they, along with all the other veterans who survived the War, should be honorably remembered for their service to the Confederate States of America. God Bless ALL of them." ~ Edward Harding

Preserving the Past for the Future

As Southron, it is our mission to preserve the name, honour and legacy of our Confederate heroes. Confederate monuments & cemeteries are among the greatest of our Southern treasures, and their protection must be foremost among our priorities. This mission should be especially dear to us, as these monuments & cemeteries are the only standing tribute to our past.

Please help preserve Dixie's treasures for the enjoyment of Her future generations. Once they are impacted or destroyed by "those people" they can never be restored to their original state; there is no going back....PoP

Most every city/town in the South has Confederate, cemeteries, monuments, plaques or statues. PLEASE, send photos of same from your city/town. Please include sentiments on the monuments and/or any other information, we will post them.

Thanks, SHNV

As Southron, we must dedicate ourselves to the preservation of Southern Heritage and the defense of our Confederate heroes.
