FLAG POLE DEDICATION JULY, 2005

Below are photos from our Flag Pole Dedication. The Champ Camp placed a 45ft. flag pole next to the Interstate-40 next to the Parker Rd. Bridge near the 299-300 mile marker. Hooray for the South!

Gail Parker, adjutant of the Ferguson--Standing Stone Camp and Walter Anderson, treasurer of the Dillard--Judd Camp rasie the 10 ft. X 15 ft. flag on the 45 ft. Pole.

Dr. Michael Bradley recites his poem, "I Am Their Flag" as Seth Parker, son of Camp Chaplain Stephen Parker proudly holds OUR Flag. Seth is going to make a good member!

She unfolded without much effort and waved over the crowd as if to say, "Look Away, Dixie Land."

Bill Heard and his boys fired the cannon and bunches of honor guard, from all over the TN Division saluted her with a volley. No wrecks were reported on the Interstate during the ceremony, though we heard a Jake Brake or two.

As Dr. Michael Bradley, guest speaker, looks on, Stephen Parker, camp chaplain ends with prayer. The song "Dixie" was sang at the closing of the prayer.
