Greetings friends and fellow travelers!
On Saturday, September 30th I was honored to take part in the 12th Annual Confederate Heritage Youth Day near Smyrna, South Carolina.

The Pvt. Thomas Caldwell Camp #31 (Clover, SC)

Blastoff Battery Artillery Reenactors
The following are the photos that I took of the event, which included several presentations about the period during the War Between The States, a small battle presentation for the kids, and a wonderful supper. The children took home a wonderful package that included a t-shirt and school supplies.
The following are the photos I took of the event.
Once again I am proud of the work that was done by the SCV toward advancing education about the South during the War Between The States and the connection that period has to our shared and living Southern-Confederate historical heritage.
I also hope that y'all enjoyed my photos of this event. Until next time, have a wonderful Dixie Day, y'all hear?
