Bradley Schmehl's Taking the Oath

In January 1863, John S. Mosby enlisted men to join his partisan rangers. He administered the oath to his recruits at the Mt. Zion Church in Aldie, Virginia. That church is still standing today.

Southern Soldiers Remembrance Fund

The primary purpose of the Southern Soldiers Remembrance Fund (SSRF) is to place Veterans Administration markers on unmarked Confederate graves. We're a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated and approved by the Virginia State Corporation Commission. This corporation was founded by Jim Phelps, with the help of two of his colleagues, Bill Ward and Terry Stucky. The SSRF is committed to ensuring that the memory of those brave men, who gave so much, will never be forgotten. We believe that it is our duty to remember each Confederate soldier by creating a lasting memorial for his final resting place.
