The Sons and Daughters of Confederate Veterans was organized in Mount Pleasant and San Antonio, Texas, by both men and women who are living heirs of those who served faithfully during America's greatest conflict known as the "Civil War" (1861-1865). We served to honor the memory and legacy of the Civil Officials, Officers, Soldiers, Sailors and Marines that served the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War as defined in U.S. Public Law 85-425: Sec. 410, 38 U.S. Code, Sec. 2306, and the Congressional Act of March 9, 1906.
