Members and compatriots of SCV Camp 1524 participated in the Prattville Independence Day parade on Monday morning, July 4th. Commander Waldo and his family, 1st Lt Schwartz, Color Sgt Dennis, Chaplain Brantley, Adjutant Sutherland, Quartermaster Myrick, Camp Historian Sam Reid, and Darrell Haywood represented the local camp and the Sons of Confederate Veterans. They were joined by two members of the Alabama Division SCV Mechanized Cavalry including Chaplain Michael Atkins and they brought along an acquaintance, a compatriot they had just met at a convenience store in Prattville on their way to the parade lineup. Good stuff! 1st Lt Schwartz and Chaplain Brantley carried the new camp banner created specifically for the parade proclaiming an "American Independence Day" with a "Betsy Ross" flag in the center. The entry also included Commander Waldo's purple Charger emblazoned with a US and a Confederate Battle flag as well as the three Harley Davidsons. It was a very warm July morning walking down Court Street and Main Street but the Dragoons were met with enthusiastic applause. Bags of candy were thrown to the parade spectators who lined the streets. It was another outstanding community event and opportunity for Camp 1524 to get the colors out in front of our friends and neighbors.
