Memorial
In the early days of the Organization, the UDC became known as the “builder” of monuments,” and continues today in building, restoring, and preserving Confederate monuments. Activities that remember our Confederate dead and those who died in any war in the service of our country as well as deceased UDC members are an integral part of UDC work. Chapters conduct annual Confederate Memorial Day services, placing flowers and flags on Confederate graves. Wreaths are placed each year at the statutes of President Jefferson Davis and General Robert E. Lee in Statuary Hall at the United States Capitol, and at the Tomb of the Unknowns and Confederate monument in Arlington National Cemetery.
As an ongoing project, the UDC not only locates, records, marks, and cares for the graves of Confederate soldiers and sailors but also marks with special UDC markers the graves of UDC members, Real Daughters, and non-UDC daughters of Confederate veterans. Many Chapters participate in caring for Confederate cemeteries, as well as individual graves.
Patriotic
The UDC is among the first in aiding our country during times of crisis and maintains unwavering American patriotism. Members fly the U.S. flag, honor the veterans of all wars by volunteering and contributing funds and items to VA Hospitals, and send cards and needed items to active-duty service personnel overseas. The UDC has a wide range of patriotic awards that are presented to Confederate descendants. Included in these are Military Service Awards and Meritorious Service Awards to current or former U.S. military who meet certain criteria and Pioneers in Space Awards to those who flew in space or made significant contributions to the U.S. space program.
Organization
The UDC is a nonprofit organization and meets the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service Code 501(c)(3) as a tax-exempt organization.
The local UDC body is a Chapter. A Division is the statewide organization composed of Chapters. A Chapter Where No Division (CWND) is the term for a Chapter in a state (or foreign country/territory) where there are not sufficient Chapters to have a Division. General is the term for the national organization
