Prattville Dragoons Place Battle Flags on Veterans' Graves for Confederate History and Heritage Month

In preparation for April as Confederate History and Heritage month, members of Camp 1524 Sons of Confederate Veterans placed Battle flags on the graves of the Confederate veterans whose final resting place is Oak Hill Cemetery in Prattville AL.  Camp Adjutant Sutherland brought flags and maps of the cemetery to be used for more quickly identifying the Confederate veterans' graves.  Also in attendance were 1st Lt Harold Grooms, Color Sgt John Dennis and his wife Mary Jane, compatriots Tyrone Crowley, Darrell Haywood, Larry Spears and Rob Schwarz.  Rob sent an email to the camp distribution following saying, "It was a beautiful morning (including) remembrance prayers...replaced the old flags and missing ones.  Looking over all the graves we marked really made me personally thing of their lives and what they fought for and why."
