Members of SCV Camp 1524, friends and family participated in the Prattville Independence Day parade the morning of July 4th. The camp had a great entry including walkers carrying the camp'd Independence Day banner and handing out candy to the spectators, Quartermaster Myrick's truck carrying a display of historic Alabama state flags, Brigade Commander Waldo's Charger driven by his wife and son showing off two combination Betsy Ross/Gadsden flags, and two members of the Alabama Division mechanized calvalry on their Harley Davidsons. It was a warm morning and everyone sought shade under the trees along Court Street before the parade commenced. The route took the parade down 4th street then over to Main Street and down Northijngton to Pratt Park. Walker included Chaplain Brantley and Comms Officer Eric Davis carrying the banner, Commander Waldo, Treasurer Dennis and compatriot Rob Schwartz hading out candy and also three members of the local UDC chapter Children of the Confederacy. Bill Myrick and his wife rode in their truck and Mech Cav Chaplain "Chop Chop" Atkins led the Harleys which are always a great hit with the parade spectators. A great way to lead into the holiday weekend and remind the local comunity that the Confederates fought for their independence for much the same reason as our founding fathers seceding from the British Empire.
