Support the Memory of the Union and the Boys in Blue

Lt. Commander Edward Lea USN, Camp 2 is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your generous, tax-deductible donations directly fund our mission to keep the history of the Civil War alive in our community.

Why Your Support Matters

Of the 2 million men who served to preserve the Union, 365,000 paid the ultimate price. Today, the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War stand as the congressionally chartered legal heir to the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), ensuring their sacrifices are never forgotten.

By supporting Camp 2, you are directly funding historical preservation, grave marking, and educational outreach right here in Texas.
