RESOLUTIONS AS TO MEMORIAL
To the Women the Adopted by
The United Confederate Veterans at the New Orleans
(1906) Convention.

Whereas. the report of the committee
of cooperation in the work for the me-
mortal to our glorious women of the Con-
federaey, shows that up TO April II, 1906.
seventy-five camps have taken action I'M
der the resolutions Of the Louisville
Q905, convention and raised their share
of the funds for this work, to which
should be added nine camps which had
previously or otherwise acted, making "a
total of elghty-four camps; and this re-
port further shows that many camps
have the good work now in progress, but
not yet brought TO a successful conclu-
sion;
And, whereas, it is believed that the
camps which have so far taken no action
are truly loyal to the sacred memories of
our women and desire that their unbem-
ished record shall be preserved through
all time and that said camps will yet
make effort to do their share in the
work, if time is given them;
And, whereas We Confederate veterans,
treasure the God-like heroism of the wo-
men OF the Confederacy, as a precious
heritage which we and our sons and our
to all succeeding generations for instruc-
ton ard emulation,
And. whereas, the magnificent prosper
ity which now spreads over our fair
southland is directly attributable to
those heroic mothers. who urged us, sup
ported us, shared with us in the desper-
ate struggle to rebuild our ruined, and
hose devoted efforts really laid or en-
abled us to lay, the foundation on which
is built the good fortune and happiness
we AMI our children and our entire people
today enjoy.
And. whereas, to them is due the train
ing ana rearing of the present generation
of our sons and our daughters. who are
today so successfully building on the
foundation their mothers and fathers had
laid deep and secure in this the land of
our forefathers.
And, whereas. the entire people of the
south are indebted for this, their prosper
ity and happlness-a just debt. to these
noble women. which debt Is universally
and cheerfully ackno wledged, and we be-
lieve, If properly presented, will be, in
part a least, honestly paid; therefore be
1t resolved
First, That the work provided for in
the resolution of the 1903 convention be
carried forward with rene wed energy, I'M
til success crowns the effort to honor in
such unperishable form as will transmit
to all generations, the sublime herolsm
patlen1 devotion, uncomfortable fortitude
and noble patriotism of the women OF the
Confederacy.
Second That we invite the entire people
of the south to join and show by such as
sistance in the work that they appreciate
the debt they owe these women and that
they are honestly willing and ready to
pay 1t.
Third. That every camp Of the United
Confederate Veterans, which has not yet
tanen action be and is hereby most sol

the people of its community. who are to-
day enjoying the blessings which these
women have brought to Them such lib
eral and generous contributions as may
make the memorial an assured success
before another reunion rolls around. We
must all soon answer the roll-call in the
great hereafter Before closing our eyes
on this world let MS have the supreme
satisfaction Of knowing that we We're
neither ungrateful To or neglectful Of
these God-lke women
