Confederate Medal Of Honor Ceremony

any months ago, our previous Camp Adjutant, Mike Thomas, did considerable research on a young solider named,

wrence Berry of the 3rd Company of the Washington Artillery (Louisiana) who was killed in action at the Battle of

egg, Petersburg on April 2nd, 1865. Pvt. Berry was just a teenage boy when he enlisted in the Washington Artiller

ted his occupation as a barber on his enlistment record. Being a native of New Orleans, Louisiana, Pvt. Berry foundmself a long way from home on that fateful day in April 1865. Not too many months before, he found himself in a

spital in Richmond suffering from a gunshot wound but as soon as he healed up, he was back in action at the lines

ound Petersburg. General Lee knew that it was just a matter of hours before the union invaders would break the linetersburg and that Richmond would fall. His only hope was to evacuate the army west, but in order to do that, he neecious time. Pvt. Berry was one of only 334 Confederate defenders left to stand against 5,000 Yankee troops sent a

eir position. The order of the day was to "Hold at all costs". There was little doubt in the minds of our troops that d

what was expected of them. It was hoped that they could hold off the Yankee horde for at least two hours to enable

neral Lee to evacuate and save the army. Out of eight Confederate cannons that began the battle two hours earlier,t. Berry and his six pounder remained in operation. Having just loaded his piece with double canister, Pvt. Berry st

the open holding the firing lanyard when dozens of Yankee troops came swarming over the parapet. The enemy sh

him to drop the lanyard or they would shoot. Pvt. Berry could easily have saved his life by dropping the lanyard, b

tead, he replied to the invaders, "Shoot and be Damned!", as he pulled the lanyard inflicting heavy causalities on th

emy. Pvt. Berry was immediately shot down and his body riddled by musket balls. Compatriot Thomas, realizing

tstanding heroism of this young soldier, compiled all of the records and paperwork necessary to submit aommendation to the National Sons of Confederate Veterans Medal of Honor Committee for consideration. Recent

e committee voted to award the Confederate Medal of Honor to Pvt. Lawrence Berry and we have the medal, ribbon

ation in hand and ready for the framers. Commander Brown has contacted the director of the Petersburg Siege Mud we have an appointment with them on May 2nd to discuss the SCV putting the medal on permanent loan to the

useum. We have scheduled a Medal of Honor Ceremony in conjunction with the Jefferson Davis Memorial Service

ld at 9:00 A.M. on Saturday, June 2nd, 2012 at the Hollywood Cemetery. The Commander in Chief of the Sons of

nfederate Veterans, Michael Givens, will be coming from Tennessee to award the medal and present it to the Siegeuseum representative. We need every single camp member to turn out for this very special occasion. Be sure to bri

e family - there will be a uniformed color guard, uniformed honor guard, artillery company, bag pipe band, and greaeakers. The firing of the musket and artillery volleys is quite an impressive sight. All of the service will be held at

vis Circle (the grave site of our only president and his family). Camp members are asked to be there at least by 8:0M. to help with setting up the folding chairs & flags.
