2026-08-06 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Chicago) | India Palace, 8474 Fredericksburg Rd #100, San Antonio, TX, 78229, United States
Join the Alamo City Guards Camp #1325, Sons of Confederate Veterans, for our August Camp meeting at India Palace.
Our featured speaker will be our own Camp Commander, Christian Lee, presenting a program on The Battle of Nueces.
On August 10, 1862, Confederate cavalry encountered a group of armed Texas Unionists camped along the Nueces River while attempting to reach Mexico. The fighting and its aftermath became one of the most controversial episodes of the Civil War in Texas—remembered by some as a military engagement and by others as the Nueces Massacre.
Commander Lee will explore what led these men to the Nueces River, what occurred during and after the battle and why the event remains debated more than 160 years later.
Come early, order dinner and enjoy fellowship with fellow compatriots before the program begins. Guests, friends and prospective members are always welcome.
Date: Thursday, August 6, 2026
Time: 6:00–8:00 p.m.
Venue:

“Our Hearts Are With You”: Lillian Rozell Messenger & the Memory of a Lost CSA Flag
Rita Schimpff will share the remarkable true story of a Confederate flag and the woman who created it, Lillian Rozell Messenger.
Flags carried during the War Between the States were far more than pieces of cloth. They served as symbols of identity, home, sacrifice and comradeship, often becoming deeply personal objects to the soldiers who followed them into battle and the families who remained behind.
Through the voice and story of its creator, Rita will trace this particular flag from its beginning through its ultimate fate, revealing the people connected to it and the lasting memory it left behind.
It is a fascinating look at the human story behind one wartime artifact — and at why these flags carried such tremendous meaning to the people who made, carried and remembered them.
Come join us September 3 and discover the story of a lost flag whose memory survived long after the war ended.
