Monuments
TEXAS DIVISION
SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS
Throughout the Texas Division, members are planting markers, preserving old monuments, and erecting new ones, all to fight the frenzied wave of Political Correctness that would rewrite the history books, purge all knowledge of the Recent Unpleasantness, and distort the American character that defines who we are, and defined this nation. Here are some of their efforts.
Major Robert M. White Camp #1250, Temple, Texas
Major Robert M. White Camp #1250, Temple, Texas, erected a monument to Texas hero and Confederate Veteran, Sergeant Jacob Hemphill. A dedication ceremony was held November 12, 2016, at the North Belton Cemetery, in Belton, Texas, where Sergeant Hemphill is buried. Sergeant Hemphill was one of nine recipients of the Texas Gold Star.
The ceremony included the unveiling and dedication of the monument by Camp Commander Terry Tyler and Lieutenant Commander James Bozeman, the dedication of a Confederate Iron Cross by Bell County Chapter 101, United Daughters of the Confederacy, a rose ceremony by the Texas Order of Confederate Rose, a Confederate color guard, a Confederate Honor Guard, and a canteen ceremony.
