"THE CHARGE"
"To you, Sons
of Confederate Veterans, we submit the
vindication of the Cause for which we fought; to your strength
will be given the defense of the Confederate soldier's good name,
the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the
perpetuation of those principles he loved and which made him
glorious and which you also cherish. Remember, it is your duty to
see that the true history of the South is presented to future
generations."le

The David Keller
Memorial Cemetery Restoration Challenge
The intent of this Program is to establish an annual
competitive challenge among the Brigades of the South Carolina
Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, to restore cemeteries in
each Brigade throughout the State South Carolina. The rules are as
follows:
Each Brigade will submit to the Division Chief of Staff photos
of two cemeteries in their existing state. There will be three
photos of each cemetery. These photos will be numbered: Cemetery
#1, a1, a2, a3, and Cemetery #2, b1, b2, b3 along with the names
of each cemetery on a separate piece of paper (do not put the
names of the cemeteries on the photos). The cemetery names will be
known only to the submitting Brigade Officers and the Division
Chief of Staff. These photos must be mailed and postmarked no
later than 10 September of each year. The Chief of Staff will
select one cemetery for each Brigade from the photos submitted.
These photos with will be placed in a sealed envelope with the
Brigades name on the envelope and returned to the Brigade
Commanders at the October EC Meeting. Each Brigade will have
until, 31 December to complete the work on their cemetery, make
three photos of the restored cemetery, marked c1, c2, & c3 and
mail them, the original photos, and the names of the participating
Camps in that Brigade back to the Division Chief of Staff. The
entry envelope must be postmarked no later than Midnight, 31
December. The Chief of Staff will label these entries so that the
name of the Cemetery and the submitting Brigade is known only by
him and give them to Awards Committee for judging. The work will
be judged by the Awards Committee prior to the next Annual
Reunion. The winning Brigade will be announced at the Annual
Reunion and each participating Camp in that Brigade will be
recognized and will receive an award.
It is recommended that each participating Camp of the winning
Brigade receive a ribbon which is very unique and distinctive from
other ribbons awarded by Division so that it will easily
recognizable when displayed with the Camp’s Flag.
In Memory of David Keller.
