United Daughters of

the Confederacy ®

The UDC emblem is a five pointed star with a superimposed cotton boll.  One word of the motto is on the tip of each point: "THINK, LOVE, PRAY, DARE, LIVE."  The UDC was organized by patriotic, southern women who gave their time, talents and means to serve with no thought of compensation beyond the feeling of duty well done. The UDC continues to serve its historic past as changing times require.  In war, as in peace, the UDC yields to none in devotion, patriotic service and loyalty to our beloved United States of America.
