| Compatriots of the South Carolina Division, Last minute update - details just received! We need your help in Mt. Pleasant this coming Sunday evening, July 5!
We have a unique opportunity to honor our ancestors by participating in the dedication of the "Mount Pleasant War Memorial", a monument dedicated to the men from Mount Pleasant who died during our nation's various conflicts. There are 74 names inscribed on a monument in the new Mt. Pleasant Waterfront Memorial Park. 40 of those names are Confederate Veterans. Moultrie Camp members will be placing a wreath honoring the veterans of the Cause for Southern Independence, all denoted by "CSA" following their names. Speakers include Senator Lindsay Graham, current town and military leaders, and Medal of Honor recipients.The Marine Corps Band from Parris Island will be in attendance, and select members of the Palmetto Battalion will be firing infantry and artillery salutes during the ceremony. We need to show the leaders of Mount Pleasant and South Carolina that the Sons of Confederate Veterans takes our Charge seriously and performs our duty with dignity. They should have no doubt that we will both defend the Confederate Soldier's good name and guard his history.
The monument dedication will be THIS SUNDAY, July 5, at 6:30pm, at the Waterfront Park. The park can be reached either by Wingo Way or Patriots Point Blvd. Here is a link to a map of the area. Dress is Coat and Tie for SCV Members. Make sure to wear your SCV lapel pin so everyone knows we're there! Contact 10th Brigade Commander Jeff Antley at 843.478.0516 or SC Division Adjutant Howard Chalmers at 843.568.4973 for more information.
Commanders, please forward this message to your camps.
For the men who wore the gray, Jeff Antley
10th Brigade Commander
