Members of the Prattville Dragoons of SCV Camp 1524 held another cemetery maintenance workday on Saturday July 13th at Robinson Springs Cemetery. The Dragoons mow and tend this cemetery as part of the SCV Guardian program caring for the final resting place of Confederate veterans. This cemetery also has other combat veterans including those from World War II interred there. Camp Commander Harold Grooms mowed the large swaths of the cemetery lawn with his riding lawn mower on Wednesday prior so the men who showed up on Saturday just had to mow closer around the graves, trim and leaf blow. Camp Quartermaster Bill Myrick, Brigade Commander Stuart Waldo, and compatriots Thomas Griffith and Rob Schwartz arrived before 7am on Saturday morning to beat the heat and completed the cleanup by 8:30. Another example of the community service activities of the SCV heritage group.
