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 aid in 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 attend 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 at the Altar of
the Nation, honoring all American War dead, in memory of departed members;
and Remembrance Day program in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania at the monument
of Albert Woolson, last surviving member of the Grand Army of the Republic.
