and Declaration of Independence to the public The pamphlet comes from the National center for Constitutional Studies. We have
one thousand copies at a total cost of $300.00. Thanks to those of you who have donated to the cause! Donations to cover the
remainder of the cost and for future purchases are welcome.
CAMP STORE: Our store has been augmented with a shipment of the 12 star battle flag tags and ‘56
Georgia flag car tags and Gadsden Flag hats. The ‘56 Georgia 3x5 flags are out of print and we were unable to locate
