The Dragoons had an impressive Dragoon entry in the Prattville Independence Day parade included at
least 14 Dragoons and family with a golf cart as well as those walking the parade route. The Alabama Division SCV Mechanized Cavalry also fielded an entry which lined up immediately adjacent providing the rumble of six Harley Davidson motorcycles to thrill the parade spectators. The SCV entries were a big hit with the crowd, as usual, and
demand for the mini Battle Flags was tremendous. We also threw many bags of candy along the way to the children lining Court and Main Streets. Several times large sections of the spectators waved, applauded and, shouted encouragement as the camp's parade entry walked by. It was a great day for Dixie and our participants really enjoyed themselves.
More Dragoons were scattered about the parade in other entries including the
Sons of American Revolution, Lions Club and two members who are running for
public office.
Dragoons
present were Commander Stuart Waldo, wife Kerri, son Cooper and daughter Julie,
Frank Pelt, James and Larry Spears, Bill Myrick, Bill Gill, Wayne Sutherland, Josh Stover
with son Nathan, and Don Owens (Mech Cav Member) with wife Loretta. There were five Mech Cav members: “Bonzo,” "Chop-Chop,” Tim
Hobbs with his wife and two additional riders. The
Mech Cav group added a lot by revving up their bikes as we progressed along the
route and being such a dynamic presence in the parade.
