Prattville Dragoons Clean Area and Raise New Flag at the Alabama Division Sons of Confederate Veterans I-65 Battle Flag Site


After getting Robinson Springs cemetery in excellent condition with a workday on Saturday morning April 20th, the attention to clean up and maintenance duties moved to the I-65 Flag Site. Beir Butler and Larry Spears trimmed with weed eaters as the grass/weeds were getting rather high. Frank Pelt came along and mowed the area and the whole area adjacent to I-65 looks great now.  Beir and Larry raised a new flag and a brisk breeze caught it and made the flag proudly wave above the Interstate. The men heard many horns sounding with approval  from the traffic.

Beir agreed to join the I-65 Flag committee as a member on stand by to lower and raise the flag before and after high wind predictions and help perform other duties as necessary. Beir is welcomed to the group as some hard working members have been lost recently; notably Bill Gill and Don Owens.  It was a great day for DIXIE!
