Letter: Note to the members of the 14th Michigan Infantry (SVR)

July 1, 2013


Gentlemen of the 14th Michigan,

Please allow me to thank you for the '"green Neckerchief" which was presented to me this past weekend at the Peace Light in Gettysburg. I am honored to be considered a member of the 14th and will always treasure the neckerchief as a sign of our brotherly connections and fidelity. I will always wear the green neckerchief and carry the shamrock coin when in my uniform.

I hope that the months ahead will be good ones for you and yours and I will look forward to a time in the future when we may meet once again as brothers of the SUVCW and SVR to pay honor to our ancestors who fought to preserve our great nation and win equality for all men.

In Fraternity, Charity, and Loyalty
your friend and servant


Mark R. Day
Commander 2nd Military District SVR
