The William H. Harris Camp #1395 has re-endorsed the corrected wording, and
just as at our August meeting, there were no objections or dissent.  It is
time to reject the URGE TO PURGE mentality that has been the result of

to expend our efforts defending our proud heritage, not shooting fellow
Southerners in the back.

On to St. Louis!
