Brown praised the camp members for their outstanding efforts in helping preserve the history of the American Civil War and helping preserve the heritage of the brave men who saved our Union of States.
Brown also gave special recognition to Joshua Cassio, who was named the nation’s most outstanding SUVCW Junior Member at the SUVCW’s National Encampment held in Framingham, Mass. last August, and to Robert Grim, who was presented the SUVCW’s Life Time Achievement Award at that national encampment.
The camp is named in honor of Henry Casey, a Civil War Medal of Honor recipient. The SUVCW is a congressionally-chartered organization dedicated to preserving the heritage of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) and the men who served in the Union military forces during the Civil War.
Several of the Henry Casey Camp members also belong to the Sons of Veterans Reserve (SVR), which is the uniformed division of the SUVCW and participate in ceremonies dressed in their Civil War uniforms.
The local SVR unit is Company C, 20th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. The unit is named in honor of the unit Henry Casey served in during the Civil War. The unit is commanded by 1st Lt. Shane Milburn who also serves as the adjutant of the SVR 3rd Military District, which encompasses Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Michigan. The national commanding general of the SVR is Robert E. Grim, who is also a member of the local unit.
