  • The Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS), or simply the Loyal Legion is a United States patriotic order, organized April 15, 1865, by three veteran officers of the Army. The original membership was composed of members of the Army, Navy, or Marine Corps of the United States, who had served during the American Civil War as commissioned officers in Federal service, or who had served and thereafter been commissioned, and who thereby "had aided in maintaining the honor, integrity, and supremacy of the national movement" during the Civil War. The Loyal Legion was formed by in response to rumors from Washington of a conspiracy to destroy the Federal government by assassination of its leaders, in the immediate aftermath of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. The founding members stated their purpose as the cherishing of the memories and associations of the war waged in defense of the unity and indivisibility of the Republic; the strengthening of the ties of fraternal fellowship and sympathy formed by companionship in arms; the relief of the widows and children of dead companions of the order; and the advancement of the general welfare of the soldiers and sailors of the United States. As the original officers died off, the veterans organization became an hereditary society. The modern organization is composed of men who are direct descendants, nephews or first cousins of these officers (hereditary members), and also other men who share the ideals of the Order (Associate members), who collectively are considered "Companions". A female auxiliary, Dames of the Loyal Legion of the United States (DOLLUS), was formed in 1899 and accepted as an affiliate in 1915. (en)
  • Le Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, connu également sous son acronyme MOLLUS ou plus simplement comme la Loyal Legion (que l'on peut traduire en français par l' « Ordre militaire de la légion des loyalistes des États-Unis »), est un ordre militaire américain qui remonte à la fin de la Guerre de Sécession. Bien qu'il n'ait jamais reçu un soutien ni une reconnaissance officielle du gouvernement, à son apogée, à la fin du XIXe siècle, tous les officiers les plus en titrés en furent membres. Il tire ses origines d'une fraternité d'officiers de l'Armée de l'Union qui s'organisa après l'assassinat du président Abraham Lincoln. L'organisation actuelle est composée de descendants de ces officiers. Son président, élu par les membres, reçoit le titre Commander-in-Chief, dont le premier fut le major-général George Cadwalader et l'actuel, Karl Frederick Schaeffer qui est un vétéran de la Guerre de Corée. Parmi ses membres, ou comme ils se nomment eux-mêmes, compagnons, on peut rappeler les noms de Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, Philip Sheridan, George Armstrong Custer, George McClellan, Rutherford B. Hayes, Chester A. Arthur, Benjamin Harrison et William McKinley (fr)
  • A Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS) (em português: Ordem Militar da Leal Legião dos Estados Unidos), ou simplesmente a Leal Legião é uma ordem patriótica dos Estados Unidos, organizada em 15 de abril de 1865, por três oficiais veteranos do Exército. Os membros originais eram compostos por membros do Exército, Marinha ou Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais dos Estados Unidos, que serviram durante a Guerra Civil Americana como oficiais comissionados no serviço federal, ou que serviram e depois foram comissionados, e que assim "tinham ajudou a manter a honra, integridade e supremacia do movimento nacional" durante a Guerra Civil. A Legião Leal foi formada em resposta a rumores de Washington de uma conspiração para destruir o governo federal pelo assassinato de seus líderes, logo após o assassinato do presidente Abraham Lincoln. Os membros fundadores afirmaram como propósito o acalentar as memórias e associações da guerra travada em defesa da unidade e indivisibilidade da República; o fortalecimento dos laços de companheirismo e simpatia fraternos formados pelo companheirismo de armas; o alívio das viúvas e filhos de companheiros mortos da ordem; e o avanço do bem-estar geral dos soldados e marinheiros dos Estados Unidos. Como os oficiais originais morreram, a organização de veteranos tornou-se uma sociedade hereditária. A organização moderna é composta por homens descendentes diretos, sobrinhos ou primos de primeiro grau desses oficiais (membros hereditários), e também outros homens que compartilham os ideais da Ordem (membros associados), que coletivamente são considerados "companheiros". Uma ordem auxiliar feminina, Dames of the Loyal Legion of the United States (DOLLUS), foi formada em 1899 e aceita como afiliada em 1915. (pt)
