CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL DAY

Gentlemen,
 
I want to remind you about Confederate Memorial Day next Saturday in Columbia.  We are going to meet in the back parking lot of Venus Pancake House between 8:00 - 8:20am on Saturday, May 7th.  We will leave no later than 8:30 and carpool to Elmwood Cemetery in Columbia where we will participate in the UDC memorial service at 10am.  At 11am we will march in procession to the state house where the SCV memorial service will be held at the Soldiers Monument around noon.  We should be home by mid afternoon - no later than 3 or 3:30.
 
My goal is to have at least 15 from the Pee Dee Rifles there for the memorial.  Our detractors are watching to see what kind of turn out we have.  What better way can we make a statement to the bias media that there are still men in South Carolina that care about the sacrifice their ancestors made defending their rights, home and country.  Honor your ancestor with your attendance.  As members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, it is our most important day of the year!  Please make your plans now to attend.
 
Please call me with any questions.
 
Ron York
Commander
