VETERAN'S MEMORIAL PARK
The Albert Pike Camp has been
instrumental in the effort to keep the Confederate battle flag flying over the Veteran's Memorial park and Wichita.
By contributing financially, letter writing, and community education,
we, and our allies, have managed to keep our flag in its rightful place
of honor. |

PARADES
The Albert Pike Camp participates in local
parades. Among this year's events will be the Veteran's Day parades in Emporia and Wichita, Kansas. |

MINE CREEK BATTLEFIELD
The Battle of Mine Creek was a
disastrous affair for Gen. Sterling Price's invading army. Fought in
October of 1864, the battlefield is located just inside the Kansas
/ Missouri border. Though belated, the record has been set straight,
however! The Kansas Division won a hard fought battle of it's own in April 2004 by placing a monument on the
battlefield in honor of the Confederate soldiers who fell and are
buried in unmarked graves. |

|
 o you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we submit the
vindication of the Cause for which we fought; to your strength will be given
the defense of the Confederate soldier's good name, the guardianship of his
history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles he
loved and which made him glorious and which you also cherish. Remember, it is
your duty to see that the true history of the South is presented to future
generations."
–Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, Commander General, United Confederate Veterans,
New Orleans, Louisiana, 1906 |
