The Prattville Dragoons, Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 is concluding our annual fundraiser, selling delicious Smokin S smoked butts to be available for distribution or pickup on Saturday August 15th. Today as much as ever, the SCV recognizes and appreciates those who wish to preserve their Southern history and heritage. Our Confederate monuments as well as historical monuments for many of our nation’s founders and defenders are under attack in what can justly be described as a culture war. The Sons of Confederate Veterans is the preeminent Confederate heritage organization and is dedicated to the preservation of Confederate history and the legacy of our Confederate soldier ancestors for future generations so all may understand the true history of that period and the ideals and motivations which defined the Southern Cause. This annual fundraiser is our sole effort for the camp treasury to fund our activities and initiatives to carry forth the Charge, to defend “the Confederate soldier's good name, to guard his history, to perpetuate those principles he loved and which made him glorious.”
Camp 1524 is a
very active camp dedicated to the SCV Charge to guard our Southern history and
heritage and perpetuate the ideals our ancestors cherished in the defense of
their homeland. The SCV and Camp 1524
are a 501.c.3. organization using funds generated thru membership dues and fundraisers
in many ways as part of our outreach, community service and benevolent initiatives. In the past year, our camp has continued to
maintain a number of local historic cemeteries including Indian Hill and
Robinson Springs, mowing and trimming
the grass throughout the growing season.
The camp places flags (Confederate and US) on veteran's graves at local
cemeteries for Memorial Day(s).
Annually the camp makes a $500 donation to the Alabama State Archives
for historic flag and artifacts preservation.
Camp members volunteer at a Salvation Army red kettle during the
Christmas season for two days. Two
canned food drives were completed in the past year including our annual
Thanksgiving food drive and another one for COVID19 relief for the Autauga Interfaith
Care Center local food bank; over $1200
and hundreds of pounds of food were donated to AICC to assist those in
need. As part of National Law
Enforcement Appreciation Week, Camp 1524 provided a pizza lunch for the local
law enforcement agencies (Prattville PD and Autauga Sheriff’s offices). Members did living history presentations at
a local school and for community historical organizations and events. SCV Hunley awards were presented at two local
high schools to recognize outstanding student JROTC cadets. Members also helped with other initiatives
including interstate mega-flag maintenance, and setting new memorial monuments
across the state and region. The Dragoons have made a monetary and artwork
donation to the new National Confederate Museum at the SCV Headquarters at Elm
Springs in Tennessee. The camp conducts
monthly meetings with presenters who include university professors, authors and
other experts in relevant historical events and topics. The Dragoons also participate in a number of
local fairs, festivals and parades as community outreach.
We feel SCV
Camp 1524 provides many worthwhile services and charitable initiatives in our
community. To enable the continuation of
these activities, we need the participation and support of each member. In addition to providing each participating
person a delicious smoked butt from Smokin S of Wetumpka, proceeds from the
sale provide funds for the camp to make these donations, purchase goods for the
camp stores, place advertisements for special yearly holidays and events, and
pay entry fees for city parades and festivals.
A portion of purchases may be tax deductible as SCV Camp 1524 is a
501.c.3. charitable organization. Now
more than ever we can see our enemies for what they are, opposing the very
ideals of our founding fathers and their Confederate defenders, they are Marxist
anarchists. They seek the removal of
the very foundations of our country and it’s constitution to be replaced with a
globalist socialism. They reject
authority and Biblical moral principles for agnostic LGBQT mayhem. Your continued support for the Sons of
Confederate Veterans, for the Prattville Dragoons and those public defenders of
our community, our Southern heritage and our constitutional republic is
imperative today.
