Per
order of Sons of Confederate Veterans Alabama Division Commander Carl Jones, the I-65 Battle Flag was
lowered to half staff Friday morning February 8th in memory of Dragoon Bill Gill who was
Chairman of the I-65 Flag Committee. His grandson and fellow Dragoon, Connor
Lee, was given the honor of initially lowering the flag. Dragoons
Don Owens and Larry Spears assisted Connor. These three compatriots
are shown in a photo below along with a photo showing the flag at half staff.
Bill
Gill was a dedicated Southern Heritage advocate who never met a stranger. His
legacy will live on indefinitely. Brother Bill exhibited a great loyalty and devotion to the Cause and was a friend to his compatriots in the Wigfall Grays Camp 1560 (TN) and the Prattville Dragoons Camp 1524 (AL) where he maintained his SCV memberships.
