AI notes: The “Official Organ” of the Sons of Veterans refers to the formal, authorized publication of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW), a fraternal and heritage organization dedicated to preserving the memory and legacy of Union soldiers from the American Civil War. Historically and presently, this publication is known as The Banner, and it serves as the SUVCW’s official medium for communication, record-keeping, and historical dissemination. As the “Official Organ,” The Banner publishes national orders, reports from local camps and state departments, historical articles, patriotic essays, organizational news, and notices of events or commemorations, providing members with a centralized source of information. Its designation as the official organ establishes it as the authoritative voice of the organization, similar to a modern professional newsletter, ensuring that all communications carry the endorsement of the SUVCW leadership. The publication has been in continuous circulation for decades, reflecting both the ongoing activities of the Sons of Veterans and their commitment to honoring the service and memory of Civil War veterans.
