The
January Dragoon camp meeting was held on January 10th and attended by nearly 30 people with a number of members absent due to illness and extenuating issues. Dr. Grover Plunkett, a History Professor at Faulkner University in
Montgomery, spoke on "Why the Truth Still Matters". Dr. Plunkett is also a member of the
Captain Henry Semple Camp in Montgomery.
We
were honored to have three men submit their applications to join the SCV last
night; Jordon Henderson, Pierce Pelt, and Jayson Altieri. Adjutant Wane Sutherland dutifully
finished the details of the applications to process these so these men can claim membership very soon.
Compatriot Bill Branch opened the meeting with a Benediction followed by Commander
Waldo who read the SCV Charge and went thru the upcoming events and announcements including the Army of Tennessee workshop upcoming this Saturday in Vestavia Hills
which will be attended by several Dragoons. He also made an announcement that Dragoon Bill Gill had been admitted to a
local hospital that day and needs our prayers. Color Sergeant Dismukes led everyone in the pledge to the US flag and salutes to the Alabama state and Confederate Battle flags. After Dr. Plunkett's presentation, Commander Waldo read the SCV closing and Pastor Randall Tucker of Prattmont Baptist Church said a closing prayer to send everyone off.
