A great crowd assembled on the steps of the Alabama State capitol building to honor their Confederate forebears and enjoy a Celebration of Confederate Memorial Day hosted by the Sons of Confederate Veterans on Saturday April 20, 2024. Prattville Dragoons SCV Camp 1524 members in attendance included Commander Waldo and his children, Quartermaster Myrick, Doug Butler who served in the reenactment color guard, and compatriots Larry Spears, Rob Schwartz and Tyrone Crowley; not shown are compatriots Mike Thomas and Thomas Griffith. The program was called to order by AL Division Commander Mike McMurry who presented another check (annually donated) to the Alabama State Archives for their continued work for the preservation and conservation of artifacts from the War Between the States. The reenactment color guard posted the colors and then the Division Chaplain provided an Invocation. Greetings were offered by representatives from other heritage organizations including the UDC, Order of Confederate Rose, Mechanized Cavalry, Military Order of the Stars and Bars and the SCV Army of Tennessee. Dragoons Commander Waldo's daughter who donned a beautiful period dress even gave an impromptu greetings from the Children of the Confederacy which she recently joined. The keynote speaker was former SCV Commander in Chief Kelly Barrow who gave a rousing speech imploring all to step up in the defense of the Cause especially in educating our youth and the next generations. Everyone was then invited to state the name of one or more of their Confederate veteran ancestors and a bell was rung in their memory. The color guard as well as a barrage of cannons set up on Dexter Avenue then provided three rounds of a salute. The boom and billowing smoke from the cannons was most impressive. Taps was played by a bugler. Everyone joined in singing Dixie and the chaplain then closed the program with a Benediction. Following, a wreath was laid at the memorial monument on the side of the capitol building. It was an impressive Confederate Memorial Day program enjoyed by all including a number of passers-by.

Prattville Dragoons Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 Chaplain’s Column- The Importance of Christ’s Resurrection in Our Lives
"The angel said to the women, 'Do
not be afraid, for I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
He is not here, for he has risen, just as
he said. Come, see the place where he lay'
(Matthew 28:5-6).
Easter has come and gone once again. I
hope you had a great Lenten and Easter season. If you are like many, you marked
the day by attending a wonderful Easter service, with family pictures in front
of the Cross and then on to a festive celebration and a large supper full of
family, friends, and way too much food. One of my favorite foods, ironically,
is deviled eggs.
You no doubt (I hope) heard a sermon about
the Resurrection and sang many songs about our risen Lord. Easter is indeed a
day of celebration, of victory! Our team won! Jesus defeated sin and death- for
us.
It is proper to celebrate on Sunday after
marking the solemn night of Good Friday, the betrayal before, the torture and
the crucifixion. My wife and I visited a local Methodist church who has a room
dedicated to the "stations of the Cross." It is a very somber and
reflective experience. You leave in tears. You wonder (marvel) that God would
send his only son to do this for us. Then we celebrate with gladness and thanks
on Sunday.
Then what? What happens on Monday and the
days after? The United Kingdom offers the Monday after as a national holiday.
Given what I have seen of the UK of late I doubt it's because they went to
church too much on Sunday.
Statistically, here in America, the
Sunday after Easter is the least- attended service of the year in most
churches!
Did we exhaust ourselves for one day? Do
we mark the crucifixion and resurrection every day in our lives or just when it
fits into our schedule? Do we thank God frequently or just at Christmas and/ or
Easter?
One pastor noted that "the
resurrection of Jesus Christ is more than an event to be celebrated, it's a
power to be experienced daily" (Hodges). Another gave seven reasons why
the resurrection is important to us.
The number one reason is that the
resurrection is the basis of our spirituality, christianity. Without it, there
would be no defeat of death. Other reasons include that the resurrection is the
cure for our fear of death. The grave is not the end for believers!
Additionally, the resurrection helps
us suffer in a world of emptiness and
deception. Look around and see the world where the devil runs wild. But we win
in the end! The devil loses and is thrown into the lake of fire.
God sending his son, Jesus Christ means
the veil has been torn and we will be with our loved ones one day in the New
Jerusalem.
So don't mark the importance of the
resurrection in your lives one day of the year. Do it every day! Go to the Lord
in prayer with thanksgiving and praise!

Prattville Dragoons Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 Commander's Column – The Assault on the Institution of the Traditional American Family
“Our enemies are a traditionless, homeless race. From the days of Cromwell to the present day
they have been the disturbers of the peace of the world….After what has
happened the last two years, my only wonder is that we consented to live for so
long a time in association with such miscreants. Were it ever proposed to enter again into a
Union with such a people, I could no more consent to do it than to trust myself
in a den of thieves.” (Jefferson Davis,
Dec 16, 1861) One of the established
reasons for the secession of the Southern states was the recognition that the
Southern and Northern peoples, cultures, and way of life were so disparate that they were incompatible. The Southern economy was based on agriculture
while the North was developing more industry; Northern industry used many raw
goods produced in the South and sought to retain the Southern populace as a
captured market for their finished goods.
Much of the South was still rural and wilderness and required settling
and land development. Religion and
mostly Protestantism was embedded deeply in Southern culture. Southern culture adhered to a patriarchal
model with the family unit working together important to the success of their
farms. The North was the center of most
immigration in the 19th century which created a mottled society diluted from a
sense of shared tradition gained from the founding colonists and nation’s
fathers.
Today the striking cultural differences between the red states and
blue states are as glaring as in the antebellum period. Texit is gaining momentum with Texans not
identifying with the rest of the country’s direction including allowing
unrestricted illegal immigration across the border there. Many on social media share the same feelings
as this poster on Twitter (X), “I find it really hard to even refer to them as
“fellow Americans”. Leftists are furiously doing their best to destroy the
future for our children and grandchildren. I have absolutely NOTHING in common
with these people.” I ran across an
article “The Death of the Nuclear Family” on Business Insider (https://www.businessinsider.com/death-of-typical-american-nuclear-family-economic-crisis-marriage-divorce-2024-3)
which stated, “The 'typical American
family' was always a blip. It's time to rethink it. The nuclear family (is) officially over, the
model is beginning to look more like a fringe lifestyle choice than the bedrock
of American society.” The family
structure on which western civilization largely developed is fringe now. “The demise has sparked no shortage of (often
racist, sexist, and homophobic) political backlash. Radical family-abolition scholars such as
M.E. O'Brien, whose 2023 book "Family Abolition: Capitalism and the
Communizing of Care" argues that the contained family structures
"cannot carry the immense burden of work placed on them." In an early 2020 cover story for The
Atlantic, the conservative columnist David Brooks declared the nuclear family
"a mistake."”
Family-abolitionist?
Further along in this diatribe, “In white, middle-class families, men
earned the wages that supported the family and their wives raised the children
and ran the home. The nuclear family became a microcosm of capitalist
self-sufficiency and the consumerism that came with it.” Problem with this racist take is that it
ignores the established fact that blacks in the 20th century embodied the
nuclear family model and it was during this period that fewer black children
were being raised by welfare mothers and destined for incarceration. “The nuclear family became a microcosm of
capitalist self-sufficiency and the consumerism that came with it.” So, we’re beginning to see where this article
is taking us, an embrace of LGBQT environmentalist socialism. The author states that the nuclear family was
unstable as evidenced by soaring divorce rates when no-fault divorce laws were implemented. So now, was it the family unit that was the
problem or liberal judges and legislators creating instability? Further in this illustrative article, “The
biggest fallout we see today is in the childcare crisis, where the
self-reliance inherent to the nuclear-family model resulted in women bearing
the burden of raising children. Although an overwhelming majority of women now
work outside the home, they continue to shoulder the bulk of unpaid caregiving
labor for children and aging relatives. They also end up doing more household
chores — laundry, cleaning, and cooking are all primarily done by women.” Oh the horror. The burden of child rearing. Of creating and nurturing a home.
“The wealthiest "shareholders" in a capitalist economic
system (can afford housekeepers and childcare), it isn't a particularly
enticing deal for most Americans, Kristen Ghodsee, an ethnographer at the
University of Pennsylvania and the author of "Everyday Utopia: In Praise
of Radical Alternatives to the Traditional Family Home,” told me. The nuclear family's guise of
self-sufficiency only barely conceals its toxic codependence with the market
economy.” A guise, not an inherent
foundation. The article goes on to
state that children are a “bad investment” and in an apparent contradiction,
conservatives want to limit “reproductive freedoms” (read that the killing of
babies), when one would assume capitalist conservatives would want more
consumers. The author conjectures
“something better” as “polyamorous families, platonic coparenting, and
"mommunes" becoming the next big thing.” Fellow Americans? These lunatics are doing their best to
destroy the future for our children and grandchildren. I have absolutely
NOTHING in common with these people. As
Sons of Confederate Veterans, we honor our ancestors, their sacrifices in
building their families, their homes, their states, their culture. They fought
the Second war for Independence with a tenacity to defend their homes and
families and preserve their way of life, their Constitutional liberties and
freedoms. As our SCV initiation ceremony
states, “They left us traditions of faith in God, honor, chivalry, and respect
for womanhood; they left us a passionate belief in freedom for the individual.
Our Confederate ancestors bequeathed to us a military tradition of valor,
patriotism, devotion to duty, and a spirit of self-sacrifice. When our nation
no longer admires and pays tribute to these traditions, we will no longer
remain a free nation.” It is Confederate
History and Heritage month – make it a great one and a great year for the
Cause. Deo Vindice.

SCV Camp 1524 Place Flags at Confederate Veterans Graves for Confederate History and Heritage Month
Members of the Prattville Dragoons Camp 1524 placed Battle flags on the graves of Confederate veterans at historic Oak Hill cemetery in Prattville on Saturday morning March 30th in preparation for April being Confederate History and Heritage month. Adjutant Sutherland procured new flags to put out at this cemetery as well as the two cemeteries at Confederate Memorial Park in Marbury. There are over 80 Confederate veterans buried at Oak Hill and over 300 at Confederate Memorial Park. Adjutant Sutherland also printed up maps which were highlighted to show the locations of the graves of these Confederate veterans. Compatriot Rob Schwartz led everyone in a prayer at the beginning of the work this bright and beautiful spring morning and also at the end reminding everyone of Easter and Christ's sacrifice he made for us with his triumphant resurrection celebrated the very next day. Commander Waldo and his son participated in the flag setting, finding graves, removing old flags and placing new Battle flags in the ground next to the headstones. Most all of the flags placed a year ago by the camp in the cemetery remained which speaks to the honor the local community places on their Southern history and heritage. Quartermaster Myrick, compatriots Larry Spears, Darrell Haywood and Louis Turner also helped with the task. A tremendous way to bring in April, Confederate History and Heritage month.

Prattville Dragoons SCV Camp 1524 First Cemetery Maintenance of the Season
Members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 Dragoons met at Robinson Springs cemetery on Hwy 14 in Millbrook on Saturday March 23rd to finish mowing and trimming the lawn there for the first time this spring of 2024. Brigade Commander Harold Grooms mowed the large spaces on Thursday prior so those who gathered on Saturday morning needed to just mow and trim more closely around the gravestones to finish the job. Commander Waldo and his daughter, Quartermaster Myrick, and compatriots Philip Edwards, Rob Schwartz and Todd Rogers and his son all helped on Saturday making quick work of the effort. Historic Robinson Springs is the final resting place for a number of Confederate veterans as well as veterans on other wars and founding families of the Robinson Springs area. This grounds maintenance work is performed by Camp 1524 as part of the Sons of Confederate Veterans Guardian program.

Prattville Dragoons Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 Commander's Column for March 2024 - Who is Behind the Attacks on Our Culture and Heritage and Why
My daughter said that she and her friends at school were talking the other day about books being marketed to children with LGBQT themes and she asked why would anyone do that sort of thing? I took it as an opportunity to discuss with her the forces at work today attempting to destroy the United States of America and the ideals on which the founders established our republic and the attacks on the nuclear family and white Anglo-Saxon Christian culture. There is a cabal of anti-American, anti-white, anti-Christian forces which have succeeded in gaining a foothold in our country’s institutions and seek to destroy the foundation on which our nation was established and remake it as a socialist body under CRT and DEI pillars.
Former Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev forewarned, “We will take
America without firing a shot ... we will bury you! We can't expect the American people to jump
from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving
them small doses of socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have
communism. We do not have to invade the
United States, we will destroy you from within." That’s the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics. There are now more avowed
socialists serving in the United States Congress than at any time in our
history, members of or politicians endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of
America, nine including Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, Omar etc. But the very Democrat party today espouses a
Marxist and socialist platform including debt forgiveness, a massive welfare
state with subsidized housing, (diversity) quotas, government
intervention/control in industry thru massive reulation, one-payer universal
healthcare and, embracing progressive cultural norms like LGBQT and racial
equity. The Chinese communists are using state sponsored economic warfare to gain disproportionate trade advantages to build their military while infiltrating our borders with Chinese nationalists and spying on our populace with Chinese cyber TikTok applications marketed to our youth.
This has been decades in evolving to this point, the disintegration of
the concepts and ideals on which the nation (and the Confederacy) was founded
including egalitarianism (not equity), self determination and liberty (not
socialism), and a nation founded under the blessings of God (not LGBQT pride
and abortion rights blasphemies).
Russian President Vladimir Putin has decried the moral decay of the west
including America so it is not purely the work of foreign communist
elements. BLM is a Marxist organization which
has pushed Critical Race Theory, the destruction of the nuclear family as well
as American/western institutions so much so they literally burned cities to the
ground, DE&I and racial equity agendas amazingly seeing them implemented
into schools and businesses in a knee-jerk response to a fentanyl induced death
of a career felon in the name of racial justice. Crazy.
And anti-American. Don’t attack
them or you’ll be labeled a bigoted racist, a white-nationalist targeted by the
federal government law enforcement.
Similarly don’t attack the Jewish power structure which has become
embedded in the educational, governmental, financial and entertainment sectors
of our country in inordinate numbers and positions of power far outweighing
their population furthering Israeli interests and conceivably endangering
national security and certainly compromising our Christian moral
foundations. Their infiltration and
elevation to these powerful positions in America and throughout the world has
been many years coming - one need only recall Judah Benjamin as one of the most
powerful figures in the Confederate administration. The Jews of course from a Biblical
perspective believe they are God’s chosen people (and refute the deity of Jesus
and the foundations of Christianity) and that Gentiles are beneath their
station, no doubt long bemoaning the influence of the Christian founders of the
United States.
At the risk of being branded as antisemite thought which is perhaps
the worst conceivable label in mainstream thinking, it would be conceivable
that they would seek to undermine the ideals espoused by our nations’ founders
to further strengthen their position of authority and power including degrading
our nation’s Christian values and morals thru LGBQT indoctrination as an
acceptable alternative to the nuclear family

) incessantly broadcasting representations in television shows and

) all backed at the highest levels of academia as normalcy and bankrolled for
an incessant indoctrination. In
“Whatever You Do, Don’t Mention the Jews” -
https://www.firstthings.com/article/2002/05/whatever-you-do-dont-mention-the-jews, “Referring to Jewish domination of the media,
Rev Billy Graham said, “This stranglehold has got to be broken or this
country’s going down the drain.” To
which President Nixon concurred. “Jews
have a disproportionate influence in American society. But of course that is no
secret at all; it is the obvious fact. About 2 percent of the population, a
little over five million people, exercise an influence far out of proportion to
their numbers. In certain sectors of American life—notably in media,
entertainment, prestige research universities, and to a lesser extent in
finance—people in that 2 percent hold 20, 40, or even more than 50 percent of
the positions of greatest influence. It is quite astonishing. It is clearly
disproportionate. “ Also in the highest
levels of the federal government.
So why the promotion of an immoral agenda and the destruction of our
American heritage? Always follow the money.
From an historical perspective where Jews have been subjected to attacks
and even genocide, it furthers their collective pursuit of safety, security and
power…money (even at the cost of
diminishing others) which is acceptable as they are, they believe, God’s chosen
people. BLM attempts to indoctrinate
children with CRT and embed themselves in positions of power thru DE&I
programs in educational and business institutions in the pursuit of money and
power; BLM espouses Marxism as their solution to the socio-economic disparity
plaguing black society. The current
Democrat party seeks to weaken the power and influence of white Anglo-Saxon
Protestants today thru an unrestricted immigration policy at our Southern
border open to illegal migrants from Mexico and South America and elsewhere,
swelling the numbers of Hispanic minorities as they seek to gain a long term
voting block of them at the expense of a massive welfare system burden as well
as increasing the prevalence of third-world diseases and illegal drugs entering
the country. It’s a power move to embed
the Democrats as the predominant political party in America for generations
while creating a welfare class perpetually dependent on the government
handouts. And the RINOs can’t hardly be
differentiated from the Democrats – it’s becoming a one party system, a Marxist
socialist system. Washington has the
same ruling elites as the oligarchs and Politburo in the USSR or the CCP, even
taking a page out of their Marxist brothers’ playbook in squashing dissent thru
fascist partnership with and control and use of the media and social
media. All the while padding their nest
egg and leaving Washington DC as multi-millionaires. Always follow the money. Our founding fathers and Confederate heroes
would not recognize the country and culture they bequeathed to us. It is our responsibility to “commit the
vindication of the cause for which (they) fought”, “the preservation of liberty
and freedom, rights guaranteed by the Constitution, (which) was the motivating
factor in the South’s decision to fight the Second American Revolution.”

Prattville Dragoons Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 Chaplain's Column for March 2024 - Remain Faithful to God in Suffering
Job 9:33
During the current Quarter for my MTI class through Samford we have been
studying the book of Job. We are all familiar with the tale of Job and his
suffering. We have even sung hymns about the "patience of Job." But
how does the book relate to us and our lives? And Why do good people suffer?
Why does it seem that the wicked prosper and the righteous are the ones who
never seem to “get ahead?” Why does God “allow” bad things to happen to people
who we feel don’t deserve it? Why do we feel we could do a better job of
dispensing justice to the universe than God can? These and other hard biblical
questions seem to permeate throughout the Book of Job.
After all his suffering Job believes that if he could just "pull
God into court" and plead his case then God would wipe away his
"mistaken" case of suffering. But he realized that God was too
powerful to face alone and asked in the verse above for a "defense
attorney," or mediator, to plead his case. Job did not realize that he was
making a prophecy. Hundereds of years later we got that mediator in the form of
our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Jesus went to the cross to plead our case, bear our
sentence, before God.
Pastor Ray Stedman puts it thusly, "Job is laying the foundation
here in his own understanding for the tremendous revelation that comes in the
New Testament when God becomes man. God takes our place, lives as we live,
feels as we feel, solves the great problem between us and God, and brings the
two—God and man—together. For the first time in Job, we begin to sense what God
is driving at."
We also have that that blessed assurance that our sins are forgiven.
But it does not answer the question of why good people suffer? Why does
it seem that oftentimes the wicked prosper? Job's friends believed in Divine
Retribution. They believed that when someone is suffering they must have sinned
and are being punished for it. They insisted Job and his family must have
sinned, refused to confess and was being punished accordingly. But.. he didn't
and wasn't. Job was blameless. He had not sinned. God had allowed Satan to test
Job by taking away everything that was dear to him.
Thus Job maintained that it was a case of mistaken identity. Job did
exactly what we do when we go through a time of suffering and pain. We ask
"why?" The difference we are not blameless. But we have the mediator
that Job desired and lacked. We have the confidence of Jesus. In the last
chapters of Job, God answers Job by explaining to him why He is not to be
questioned. After God shows Job the error of his ways, Job merely says, "I
have already said too much and I will now cover my mouth."
The key to Job is that while he questioned God's sense of justice, he
remained faithful to God throughout. He did not, as his wife suggested, curse
God and die. That is lesson in all of this. It is normal to question why. It is
what makes us human. But we have to trust God and remain faithful even when
things don't turn the way we want them to.
When you go back and read Job, when you see or experience suffering it
is best to just remember...
"The proper question is not so much why but who."
Amen.
