ERANs USA.
In behalf Of the Ladies' Aid Society, Auxiliary
10 the Sons Of Veteraps, U.S.A., Ia this manner /
come before you, stating the objects Of our organ
iZatOn. We feel that every Camp of Sons of Vet
Grams should have an auxiliary in the form of q
Ladies' Aid Society. The Grand Army OF the Re-
public have their auxiliares; why should not the
sons Of Veterans? We recommend the Ladies'
Aid Society, "a we not only admit the mothers,
wives sisters and daughters of the soldiers sailors
and marines but also the wife OF Son of a Veteran
who is in good standing in his Camp. The ranks
Of the veterans thinning every year and as the
last Post goes out Of existence does the auxiliary.
As this il the case the Sons of Veterans and their
auxiliary must step into their places aud do the
work Of the veterans and their auxiliaries So,
brothers, would urge you To give this your inn
come asking you TO place this matter before all
Camps Ia your jurisdiction.
The Ladies' Aid Societies were first organized In
1888, and were duly recognized and favOrRbly in
dOTsed by the third annual EnCampment, Sons Of
Veterans, held at Philadelphia. Pa, August 1884
Since that time we have been officially recognized
by the annual Encampment Of sons Of Veterans.
Herein is a brief statement of the objects.
OBJECTs-'fo assist the Sons of Veterans In keep
ing green the memories Of our soldiers, and their
sacrifices for the maintenance of the Union. To
aid and assist the Sons of Veterans in all their OBJ
iectz both financially and otherwise. To aid and
assist worthy and needy members Of our Society.
To uculcate true patriotism and love country, not
only among our own membership but all the peO-
pie Of our land, and to spread and sustain the
doctrine OF equal rights, universal liberty and
justice to all.
