About two weeks ago (March 19-20), members of the 'Major-General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne' Camp #2257 (Grand Rapids, MI) attended the Kalamazoo Living History Show at the County Fair Grounds! Cmdr. Jim Perkins [Camp #2257] said that "Our recruiting weekend went well and ... we referred a couple of recruits to the Semmes
Camp, as well as found some other interested prospects for the Cleburne
Camp."
Also attending the event was Montie Ocha [Compatriot, 'Adm. Raphael Semmes' Camp #1321]! Compatriot Ocha introduced members of the Cleburne Camp to Michigan based reenactor, Gary Carpenter, who
folks might remember from the end of the 1993 motion picture, 'Gettysburg,' as he implored Gen. Lee (played by Martin Sheen) to "let us reform and hit 'em again!" Cmdr. Perkins described the meeting as "a real treat!"
The Cleburne Camp also held a camp meeting that weekend in which several new officers were elected, and we look forward to updating Camp #2257's roster information here on the page very soon.
Here's a few pictures sent in by Cmdr. Perkins from the event for your viewing pleasure.

God bless the men and women who make the past come to life as "living historians" and also the men of 'Major-General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne' Camp #2257 for all they do to preserve and convey the true history of the Confederate soldiers & sailors in the War Between the States!
