The primary mission of the SUVCW consists of: honoring Union Veterans, preserving & perpetuating the GAR, and patriotic instruction. This includes, but is not limited to: the observance of Memorial Day, graves registration of Civil War Veterans, the preservation of Civil War Memorials, dedication ceremonies, and American patriotic and historical education.
