Prattville Dragoons Chaplain's Column for July 2019 - Great Sacrifices


"I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure it will cost us to maintain this declaration, and support and defend these states. Yet through all the gloom I see the rays of ravishing light and glory. I can see that the end is worth all the means. This is our day of deliverance."   John Adams (1735–1826)
Some 243 years ago our founders were willing to give their lives to see the United States Of America become more than a dream.
A little over 150 years ago, our ancestors were tired of an over reaching federal government and decided to stand and fight for our freedoms once again. Today, we see a faction of our country that is not only going after our heritage but our country’s origins and the flag that was first sown for our country.
Our ancestors sacrificed their lives for the birth of our nation and then for the Confederate States.
Christ paid the ultimate sacrifice 2,000 years ago so that we might have eternal life in Heaven. Great things in life come with sacrifice. Christ sacrificed His life for the World. May we stand for Christ and country and not be ashamed of our Lord nor ashamed of our country.
Please keep all camp members in your prayers!
God Bless
