Constitution Day at St. Paul’s Church

Members of the Skunk Brigade Brier Creek Militia traveled to Augusta on September 17, to participate in the Constitution Day event at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. The event started at 11 a.m. with a ceremony inside the church. The SAR Color Guard, Commanded by Commander Scott Collins, presented the colors after which the Pledge of Allegiance was recited by the attendees. During the ceremony, Mark Albertin acted the part of Col. William Few, then everyone followed the Color Guard outside for the rest of the ceremony. The presentation of the wreaths was held after which the Militia fired a three-round volley with flintlocks followed by the playing of taps by Compatriot Don Bazemore on his bugle. Those Skunk Brigade members in attendance were Allen Mincey and Don Bazemore of the Brier Creek Chapter, Alton McCloud and Tommy Chappell of the Little River Chapter, Dess Smith III of the Wiregrass Chapter and Ted Walker of the Henry Laurens Chapter of the SCSSAR.
