The Kentucky Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans

Greetings from the Kentucky Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans!

The Kentucky Division represents the 30 local units, otherwise known as Camps, that are situated across the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Our organization is open to men aged 12 and above who prove through genealogical research a bloodline that includes a Confederate Veteran who served honorably during the period between 1861 and 1865. If this sounds like something that interests you, you may contact the Division Staff or a local Camp to begin the application process. More information on the SCV can be seen HERE.

We hope you enjoy your visit with us and invite you to check back often for updates.

Bazz Childress arrested for displaying the flag!!!

During the national reunion at Concord, NC, Kentucky Division Lieutenant Commander Bazz Childress was in the process of hanging flags around his suite, getting ready for the Curt Carter Kentucky Soiree. One of the decorations he put up was a Battle Flag, in front of the window. Told he’d have to take it down for “sensitivity” reasons by the desk clerk, Childress refused. The owner of the hotel came and also ordered our Lieutenant Commander to “take it down”. When he tried to determine exactly what rule or law said he HAD to take it down, the functionary called the cops and Bazz was arrested.

There’ll be more to follow on this. The new CiC has asked us to keep a very low profile, while he tries to work out a national strategy, and the Division Commander has agreed, for the time being. However, “the time being” is not forever, and action will be taken! Bazz’s court date is 30 September, and at the very least, we have to inundate the courtroom with Kentuckians and their battle flags. Unless the CiC is able to come to some understanding with the hotel chain, we’ll be taking action against them, too.

This is outrageous, and Kentucky will be heard over this one. Brace yourselves. Get ready. We’re going to take this fight public!

Kentucky SCV License Tag
Commander's Note
KENTUCKY SCV LICENSE PLATES RESERVATION

Compatriots:
The Kentucky Division is moving forward on two fronts to get our SCV license tags approved. The first is a proposal to do an “end run” around the regs and pay cash up front, as the Lincoln people recently did. The other is our good old slow but effective “send in your money and fill out an application til we get 900 of them. Herein you’ll find our chosen tag. This is the one we’ll be going to the state with for approval and production. Before we can do that, we need 900 applications and $25.00 each. If you’re ready, and want one, send your name, address, county of residence and a check for $25.00 to Chaplain David Chaltas, c/o the Ben Caudill Camp, SCV, P.O. Box 41, Jeremiah, KY 41826. The quicker we get them in, the quicker we can go forward.

CHARGE TO THE SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS
"To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we will commit the vindication of the cause for which we fought. To your strength will be given the defense of the Confederate soldier's good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles which he loved and which you love also, and those ideals which made him glorious and which you also cherish."
Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, Commander General,
United Confederate Veterans,
