Prattville Dragoons of SCV Camp 1524 Attend Lee-Jackson Dinner in Montgomery


Lt. Commanders Harold Grooms and Karl Wade, together with Dragoons Tyrone Crowley and Dave Thompson and their ladies, attended the Lee-Jackson dinner hosted by the Henry C Semple Camp at Sinclair’s East in Montgomery on Friday evening 17 January.  Semple Camp Commander John Land welcomed everyone to the annual observance of the birthdays of these two great and honorable Americans and Confederate generals. Semple Camp Chaplain Philip Davis led everyone in opening and closing prayers and in the blessing of the food - everyone enjoyed a delicious dinner at Sinclair's, a Montgomery dining tradition.  

Army of Tennessee Commander Jason Boshers gave a spirit-filled and inspiring explanation of what The SCV Charge means to us and how we should respond to it.  Following the annual tradition, Dragoon Tyrone Crowley read the poem, “Lee At Jacksonville”, written in 2007 for the Lee Bicentennial by Compatriot J C Wingard, an Alabama native.  The meeting ended with an enthusiastic singing of “Dixie” by all present.  It was a very pleasant evening of fellowship, good food, and commemoration of our Confederate ancestors.
