Section 1: The Major General George Stoneman Camp #6, headquartered
in Lexington, North Carolina, is now an official Camp within the Sons of Union
Veterans of the Civil War. The date of
rank of the Stoneman Camp is 6 November 2017.
The Camp is named in honor of
the Union cavalry commander who gained fame for his raids into Confederate territory, including western North
Carolina.

Charter presentation special meeting on 16 December 2017 in Lexington, North
Carolina. I had the honor of presenting
the Stoneman Camp Charter to the new Camp, and Commander-in-Chief Day installed
the Camp’s newly elected and appointed officers during the meeting.
Section 3: Camp
Organizer Robert A. Crum is to be congratulated for successfully completing all
the tasks necessary to form a new Camp
in our Order. Brother Crum has also been elected as the
first Camp Commander of the Major General George Stoneman Camp #6.
Section 4: SUVCW Form 50 sums up the importance of forming
new Camps, “The creation of new Camps within the Sons of Union Veterans of the
Civil War is one of the greatest ways in which we can honor our ancestors and
ensure that there will always be Sons to protect our forefathers’ memorials,
preserve their final resting places, and keep green the memory of their
struggles and sacrifices to preserve the Union.
A new Camp enables more men to easily come together for this purpose,
and to spread the geographic reach of our Order.”
Section 5: Congratulations
and best of luck to all the Stoneman Camp Brothers
and their new Camp!
