Our Mission. The United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) has not changed core objectives since the day it first began, maintaining historical preservation, benevolence,
education, memorialism, and patriotism as mission goals. The UDC answers
the call of duty, not only to honor American Veterans,
but to serve our current service men and women who
put their lives on the line for our freedom everyday.
The header photo above is taken from the 1910 Dixie Day Picnic celebration of the Washington Division of UDC aboard the Steamer Kitsap. |
