PEE DEE RIFLES FLAG IS COMING HOME

Ladies and Gentlemen:   I am honored to announce that the flag of the Pee Dee Rifles/Light Artillery is coming home to SC.  On Friday, Sept.19th, the SC Division SCV Flag Preservation Committee and the SC Confederate Relic Room & Military Museum will unveil the conserved remains of this wonderful banner.  This will take place at the Relic Room during the Speaker's Reception of the SC Civil War Symposium from 6PM-8PM.   The flag will be on display alongside the jacket of 1st Sgt. Joseph W. Brunson, a veteran of this distinguished unit.   The cost of the reception is $7 and includes light refreshments.   Preservation of the flag began in late 2006 as a joint project between the SCDivSCV and the SCCRR&MM.  This is our first flag to be saved, with the long term goal of preserving ALL the Confederate flags currently in possession of the Relic Room.   Please feel free to forward this to anyone that may be interested.   For more information, please contact Allen Roberson at arobers@crr.sc.gov or myself.   With Warmest Regards, I am   Ken Howle, Chairman SCDivSCV Flag Preservation Committee www.rallytothecolours.org
