This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The Sons & Daughters of Confederate Veterans (SDCV) is an organization of descendants (both men and women) of the civil officials, officers, soldiers, sailors, and marines that served in the Confederate States of America military forces and government during the American Civil War.

The organization was founded on April 14, 2025 by Larry Joe Reynolds (a past Texas Commander of the Military Order of the Stars & Bars) during a Zoom meeting of its founding members, who are mostly from Texas. Its main headquarters and Headquarters Chapter are located in Mt. Pleasant, Texas. Two days later, Dustin W. Seiler (a former Camp Commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans) began to organize the second chapter of the SDCV in San Antonio, Texas.

Unlike the SCV & the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the MOS&B, which are strictly restricted to gender-based membership, the SDCV is accepting of both men and women among its membership.

Purpose

The primary objective is to educate the public about the historical accuracy of the Civil War and to secure project funding through grants, identifying and recording the graves of Confederate Veterans, and erecting new Confederate memorials.

Eligibility

The Sons & Daughters of Confederate Veterans is open to male & female descendants of those who served in the Confederate armed forces, or one of the constituent states, to the end of the war, died in prison or while in actual service, were killed in battle, or were honorably retired or discharged, are eligible for membership. Membership can be obtained through either lineal or collateral family lines. Kinship to a veteran must be documented genealogically. There is no minimum age for membership, however, a member must be at least 18 years of age to vote or hold any office.
