Why is there an Amazon ad on the website?2018-07-12T20:10:58-06:00

The Sons of Confederate Veterans has for many years had the opportunity to earn revenue from Amazon through the AmazonSmile Foundation that will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Although Amazon removed most of the Confederate Products from their site a few years ago, it gives the Sons of Confederate Veterans the opportunity to offer items to our membership that keeps our money spent inside the Confederate Community. You can purchase many Confederate items from the SCV Store.
