Welcome to the Nathan Bedford Forrest, Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 215 in Memphis, Tennessee. We meet the second Thursday of every month at Jason's Deli, 3473 Poplar Avenue at Highland, in the community meeting room adjacent to the main restaurant. (Go through the west double glass doors so you don't have to go through the main restaurant.) We are the second largest camp in Tennessee with membership currently at 165 members of which 74 are Life Members.
"The Confederate Soldiers were our kinfolk and our heroes. We testify to the country our enduring fidelity to their memory. We commemorate their valor and devotion. There were some things that were not surrendered at Appomattox. We did not surrender our rights and history, nor was it one of the conditions of surrender that unfriendly lips should be suffered to tell the story of that war or that unfriendly hands should write the epitaths of the Confederate dead. We have a right to teach our children the true history of that war, the causes that led up to it and the principles involved."
