ABOUT US:

      The Haralson Invincibles Camp
had been dormant for six years.

      Upon the request of the Upper
Division Commander, Charlie Lott,
in 2004, I was appointed the
Commander of the camp.
     
      At the same time, one of the
former members of the camp was
appointed Lt. Commander and our
Adjutant transferred in from another
camp.

      We held our first meeting in
July 2004.  This was held as an
informative meeting and we had
approximately 50 people to attend. 
We have been off and running ever
since.

      We have established an
artillery crew, infantry, a
color guard made up of teenagers
and we are establishing a
mounted cavalry.  We have a
bugler, a drummer and a new 12
lb. Napoleon Cannon that was
donated to us and was christened,
"The Preacher".

       We have chosen for our
camp logo, The Phoenix.

ashes to live again, so has
Haralson's Invincibles Camp 673."
