Sons of Confederate Veterans
Mississippi License Plates
|
At the 2005 MS Division, SCV, convention, the Division
renewed its pledge to preserve/conserve MS's original Confederate
Battle flags. Show your support for your Division and our Flags
by purchasing a Mississippi Sons of Confederate Veterans "vanity"
car tag today (if you haven't already done so)! If you've already
done so, please continue to purchase the tags when tag replacement time
rolls around!
When you purchase a MS SCV car tag, $26 of your
purchase price comes directly to the MS Division. The
majority of these funds are used for the restoration of the original MS
Confederate Battle
flags in the Old Capitol Collection in Jackson. The remainder being
used to fight heritage violations. The Mississippi division has to date restored nine original
MS
Confederate Battle flags and two more are in process, at a total cost
of approximately $100,000! Thus
conserved, these flags should now last for at least two-hundred
more years! What a gesture to our noble Confederate
grandsires! Restoration of these storied emblems is exceedingly expensive, with typical conservation costs ranging from $3,000 to $27,000 per flag. This vital work is done by hand, using the latest methodologies and state-of-the-art materials. One of the finest conservation services in the nation performs all the work in-house in West Virginia. If not conserved, these most-precious artifacts of our
history -- the very "colors" that our Patriot forebears fought and died
under -- will simply crumble into dust. We can't let that happen!
Anyone can buy a MS SCV car tag! You need not be a
Member of the Division! You don't have to show a Membership card
or any other SCV identification. Ask friends, family, and
co-workers to buy one today and, thus, help preserve a little bit of
MS's proud history! Make your family fleet of cars an "all SCV"
fleet!
To purchase a tag, simply go to your county tag office and
request a MS Sons of Confederate Veterans car tag! Take your
present tag, fill out the
forms, write a check, and affix your SCV car tag to your vehicle,
showing all who see your car/truck that you are a Mississippian who
cares about your "Heritage of Honor"!
Note: Some car tag offices do not have the SCV car tag
on display, but it is available. You might respectfully request
that your local office display the tag in their tag displays, so that
other folks can become aware of its availability for purchase.
Make sure that tag office personnel know that anyone can purchase the
tag, not just SCV Members! If you have any problems obtaining a MS SCV tag or employees claim that they can't get such tags, immediately contact the MS State Tax Commission, register a gentlemanly complaint, and respectfully request that the State Tax Commission make your local tag office comply with State law and procure a MS SCV car tag for you. |
