On Saturday, November 26, Camp 91, Thomson Guards worked to clean our Confederate Monument at the old courthouse on Main Street. Team leader, Mike Lacefield, who has taken many courses on stone cleaning, provided the correct soap, brushes and proper procedures. Our goal was to remove the grit, dirt and soot. The results were fantastic. We will return in the late spring to remove the liken and mold.
Thanks to everyone who helped staff the recruitment booth at the Warrenton Sportsman’s Festival on November 12. We collected $90 for the GA Division Legal Defense Fund, we collected 20 names of potential new members and we put forth a great public image. It was a very good day. Each potential new member from each of the three festivals is being sent the monthly Dispatch. We hope they will join us at dinner and a meeting.
Camp 91, Thomson Guards, Sons of Confederate Veterans is honored to mark the graves of our United States military veterans in the Thomson Memorial Cemetery. Each veteran grave site is noticeable by a small U.S. Flag. The camp also provided the new large flags along the graveyard frontage on Tom Watson Way. They include the U.S., Georgia, and each of the armed forces service flags. The camp provided these flags as a tribute to all U. S. military veterans - past, present and future who serve or have served the country honorably.
We want every veteran to know how much we appreciate your service. We owe our freedoms to you! May God bless you all. |
