SCV Camp "Os Confederados" #1653 was founded on April 9,1994, with the
long-expected presence of Commander-in-Chief Bob Hawkins and Historian-in-Chief John
Wells. Contacts of this group of Confederados with the SCV dated back to 1979, thanks to
the efforts of Charles Burgess and William D. McCain. Finally the Camp Charter was
drafted, and it came into existence. Current officers are:
Daniel Carr De Muzio, Commander and Treasurer
Thomas Steagall, Adjutant
Francisco Vieira Daniel, Historian
The Camp dedicates its efforts to maintaining the Brazilian Confederates' History, keeping
liasons and contacts with Confederacy-related entities, and joins Fraternidade
Descendência Americana members in flying the Confederate Flag during all possible
occasions, defending the Confederate Symbols when they are under fire, and actively taking
part in all events related to the entity.
Its members also escort visiting SCV members to the Campo Cemetery and to the Immigration
Museum, and do their best to aid fellow Compatriots when visiting Brazil.
They record meetings, events, and important facts.
The Camp's motto is Vincit Omnia Veritas (Truth Conquers all Things).
