Commanders Report Greetings Fellow Compatriots,

I’m pleased to report that we are again having our monthly meeting at Chill on July

20th. Our guest speaker will be Tommy Holmes. Tommy was a guest speaker last year and we

are grateful that he accepted our invitation. I cannot begin to tell everyone how difficult it is

finding guest speakers for our camp meetings. I want to thank Kyle and Alan for their assis-

tance. I discovered that the list of available speakers contained in our Division newsletter is way

out of date and needs revising. Last year I spoke with Craig about this issue and he and I agreed

that each camp member should be able to give a twenty-minute presentation about some phase

of the War for Southern Independence. To be honest, I was in the process of preparing a presen-

tation for Tuesday’s meeting due to a scheduling mix-up on my part. Tommy stepped up last

week and was able to rearrange is schedule for us. I’m going to request that each camp member

be ready and begin thinking about their presentation.

“But their memories shall remain for us, And their names, bright names. Without stain

for us The glory they won shall not wane for us, In legend and lay Our heroes in Gray Shall for-

ever live over again for us.”

Deo Vindice, Initum sapientiae tumor Domini

State News - Denton Monument Update

The Confederate monument that spent more than a century outside the old Denton County Courthouse in the town square is being moved inside to the Courthouse-on-the-Square Museum. The plan to display the statue indoors, with the addition of historical context, was ap-proved unanimously Wednesday by The Texas Historical Commission in what has been referred to as a "model" for the state with regard to relocating Confederate monu-ments. The monument and statue were removed in June 2020 with the intention of preserving it for “educational and historical purposes” at another Denton County location – under the direction of the Texas Historical Commission. This week, that location was determined to be inside the very courthouse that it was erected outside of in 1918 provided it meet the following specifications.

Working with the executive committee on the location of the reinstalled memorial.

Description of the history of slavery in America and its causal impact on the Civil War.

Description of the African-American experience as that experience re-lated to the legacy of the Civil War at the time of the memorial's initial construction in 1918.

Asking the county to consent to the continuing jurisdiction of the THC for the administration of the permit.

The controversial monument is 18 feet, 54 inches tall, but the ceiling height for the Courthouse-on-the-Square is 12 feet, 8 inches. As a result, a permanent exhibit inside the Courthouse-on-the-Square Museum will feature the statue of the soldier and two engraved tablets from the original monument.

The exhibit will be surrounded on three sides by a 3-D version of the Confederate monument

where it was previously located on the Courthouse-on-Square lawn.

Additionally, a story will explain the history of the monument as well as the history of slavery

statewide and locally. Kiosks will also be available at the exhibit with videos of narrators from

the committee speaking on everything from the removal of the monument, history of slavery in

America, the Jim Crow era, history of the United Daughters of The Confederacy, and Confeder-

ate monuments.

IN THE STATE WHERE TIM ALLEN VOICES THE TOURISM COMMERCIALS A statue of a confederate soldier in Ottawa County is staying put following a Monday night vote by the

Township Board. The motion to keep the statue passed in a 5 to 2 vote. It will also be repaired from any

damage done to it over the past year. The board’s decision goes against the recommendation of the citizen

committee which was to remove and replace the statue. Township Clerk Jody Hansen says, after input from

the community, a majority of residents wants the statue to remain.

IN THE OLD LINE STATE Thanks in part to our efforts the Talbot County Council rejected an NAACP proposal to remove the

County's Confederate monument in a 3-2 vote last August. With much continued effort that vote has held.

But the NAACP sued the county back in May in an attempt to have the statue removed by court order.

Now, with that process moving slowly and Juneteenth approaching, the Move the Monument Coalition and

the Talbot County NAACP are ramping up efforts to remove the Confederate statue. Joining them is U.S.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland. He and NAACP president Richard Potter held a town hall meeting

calling for the statue's removal. A rally in Talbot County supporting the removal was on Saturday.

IN THE LONE STAR STATE Months after the Gainesville City Council agreed to purchase the Confederate monument on display at

Leonard Park it was taken down. The removal project cost $12,108, all funded through the city’s hotel oc-

cupancy tax. A “unity statue” (a Texas star held up by several different hands and engraved with quotes by

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Helen Keller) will take it’s place.

IN THE GEM STATE Boise First United Methodist Church is removing a stained-glass window featuring Confederate General

Robert E. Lee with U.S. Presidents Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.

IN THE GOLDEN STATE A Confederate Flag was seized from a student of Arrowhead's Big Bear High School on the last day of

school this week after he was seen strolling campus with two other students, one with a Trump 2020 flag

and the other with a Blue Lives Matter flag. None of the students were identified.

Bear Valley Unified School District Superintendent Mary M. Suzuki said the other students’ flags were not

confiscated because they have First Amendment protections. When ask why the Confederate Flag wasn't

afforded the same consideration Suzuki responded, "the courts do not assure such protections for the Con-

federate flag. It is considered a symbol of hate at this point. We take it seriously.” Suzuki said. An investi-

gation into the incident is underway.

IN THE BLUEGRASS STATE Circuit Judge Lisa Payne Jones granted a request by the Kentucky Division of the United Daughters of the

Confederacy and ordered the Confederate monument not be moved from the Daviess County Courthouse

for now. Jones granted a request by the Kentucky Division of the the ownership of the 121-year-old statue

is in dispute between Fiscal Court and the Kentucky UDC. Fiscal Court would like to move the statue off

the courthouse lawn, and county Judge-Executive Al Mattingly previously said he was in discussions with

an undisclosed party about taking it. The UDC claims they have owned the statue since 1970 when the

John C. Breckenridge Chapter 306 UDC dissolved. The UDC argues the county merely gave permission

for the statue to be placed on the courthouse lawn in 1900. Fiscal Court claims the county maintains and

insures the statue. County officials say the statue became county property after the Daviess County Confed-

erate Association fulfilled its agreement to place the statue at the courthouse in 1900.In her ruling, Jones

said the UDC had shown it could suffer "irreparable injury" if the statue were to be moved. "Whether

through accident or malice, the Court believes that moving the extremely heavy, extremely old and ex-

tremely controversial monument to another location pending a resolution of this case is fraught with the

possibility of harm," Jones wrote.

new ANV Battle Flag raised at our Chesapeake Jackson Grays Me-

morial Battle Flag site by the men of the 13th Va Mechanized Cav-

alry, SCV Camp #9.

What a glorious site for the millions of tourists heading to the Outer

taining our 30+ sites, and development and construction of new sites

possible!

God bless you all, and GOD SAVE THE

cause for which we fought. To your strength will be given the defense of the Con-

federate soldier's good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his

virtues, the perpetuation of those principles which he loved and which you love

it perpetuated.
