LOUISIANA SCV IS ON PARLER

     There is a drift beginning among the public to find a less restrictive social media outlet. An official account @LouisianaSCV has been set up on Parler. Anyone who has an account there please follow. @LouisianaSCV represent the Louisiana Division and the Louisiana Mechanized Cavalry. We are all in this fight together. The format is more like Twitter than Facebook.

RAISE THE FLAG & HOLD THE LINE

 

Louisiana Compatriots,

 

The link provided in this dispatch is to a 60 second radio spot running in Virginia advocating not to remove General Lee’s statue in Richmond.

 

The ad was put together by the Lee-Jackson Camp #1, Sons of Confederate Veterans. They are working very hard with this campaign by not only placing spots on various radio stations but also accepting donations to bring greater public attention to the dangers of losing our Southern History & Heritage.

 

I send this out to all Louisiana Camps & the Louisiana Division as an example of what should be done to combat our adversaries. The Red Wave of Marxism continues spread in this War of the Second Reconstruction. As I have stated before, our Camps are the backbone of the Confederation. Every member must do what they can to hold the line.

 

If you feel your Camp is not doing enough, then motivate your Camp to do more. Camps should work with members and officers to promote and defend our Southern History & Heritage in their local communities. They should explore the Make Dixie Great Again Campaign online as there are examples of strategy plans and resources to use.

 

The Virginia radio spot can be found at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18hYtlQwITXJXFPyR_Q2VVkStCoT6Ciuf/view?usp=sharing

 

Apathy is our greatest enemy.

He enlisted in 1864, by which point the South was in dire need of manpower. This unit fought at Lafayette on 24 June 1864, Ten Islands on 14 August 1864 and at Mobile from 17 March to 12 April 1865, and finally surrendered at Gainesville, Alabama, on 4 May 1865.
