Sunday evening, May 27th at 6 p.m. three Prattville Dragoons and two of their spouses attended
what has to be one of the finest Memorial Day services in the state of Alabama:
The Remembrance Service for Our Nation’s Fallen In All Wars at Trinity
Presbyterian Church in Montgomery. Dragoon Lt Cmdr Harold Grooms,
accompanied by Bill Myrick and Tyrone Crowley, set a wreath and saluted it “In
Memory of All Who Served During the War Between the States”, one of twenty-five
groups of veterans recognized during this fine service. Bill and Tyrone
were accompanied by their wives. The magnolia leaf wreath was adorned with mini-Confederate Battle flags. Harold, Bill and Tyrone, all active members of SCV Camp 1524 are all veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. This annual service, a credit
to this church, is conducted with stirring patriotic music and singing
from beginning to end. Instruments used are trumpet and organ, and all
verses are sung from patriotic songs such as “My Country ’Tis of Thee”,
“America the Beautiful”, and the National Anthem.
