VA PROJECT
The UDC, through its predecessor
organizations is America's oldest Patriotic organization.
It was the UDC who first awarded
medals to the surviving Confederate Veterans, with the UDC Southern Cross of
Honour.
Today, the UDC, and our chapter in
particular wish to note and honour the sacrifice and service of America's
citizen soldiers, past and current.
In Early 2004, the Chapter decided to
