Members of the Prattville Dragoons SCV Camp 1524 attended the Alabama Division Confederate Memorial Day program at the state capital on Saturday April 26th. Members in attendance included camp Commander Grooms, Brigade Commander Waldo, 1st Lt Spears, Quartermaster Myrick, Comms Officer Davis, Adjutant Butler, Chaplain Brantley and compatriots Tyrone Crowley and Louis Turner. The rpgram started at 10am with Commander Barrett opening the program with greetings followed by introductions of those in attendance representing other heritage organizations including the UDC, Order of Confederate Rose, Order of the Stars and Bars, and the Mechanized Cavalry. H.K. Edgerton donned his Confederate uniform and carrying the Battle flag called out those groups that hate our Southern heritage and brave Confederate ancestors including those with offices nearby in downtown Montgomery. Div 1st Lt Hill led everyone in the pledge to the US flag and salute to the Confederate Battle flag. Former SCV Commander in Chief Paul Gramling presented the keynote address, a challenge to everyone to support SCV functions and events to honor our ancestors and meet the challenge of those who would wish our organization and the Charge to fail. A commemorative callout of everyone's Confederate ancesotrs with a bell ringing followed and the program wrapped with a great singing of Dixie by everyone on the steps of the state capital building. There was firing of cannons down Dexter Avenue to punctuate the rousing celebration of our Confederate history and heritage. Beautiful day and wonderful program for Confederate Memorial Day 2025 in Montgomery Alabama.
