Welcome to the Alamo Camp #1325 in San Antonio, Texas.

 
Our primary interests are learning about the War to Prevent Southern Independence and preserving Southern history and heritage.  Our Camp participates in the reenactment of the surrender of Federal forces by General Twiggs to the Texas Militia in February 1861 at the Alamo in February.  We participate in Confederate Decoration Day ceremonies annually.  We march in the Flambeau Parade, attended by approximately 500,000 people, each year, as well as the Leon Valley Independence Day Parade.  We present the Founder's Award to an outstanding cadet at the Texas Military Institute graduation and final review in May.  We also present the General Robert E. Lee Leadership Award to deserving ROTC and JROTC cadets in several high schools and colleges.  We are active in the care and maintenance of the Confederate Cemetery in San Antonio.  We participate in the San Antonio Founder's Day event in October.  We are always seeking additional activities and events to become involved in.

 Many members are active in providing programs in local schools, historical reenactments, preservation initiatives, heritage defense activities, and educational opportunities.  All are committed to "the defense of the Confederate soldier's good name."  We have active partners in the Order of Confederate Rose, the Confederate Cemetery Association and the 6th Texas Re-enactors. We also produce a monthly newsletter.

 You are invited to attend our Camp meeting to get acquainted and see if our Camp is what you are looking for.  We need additional members to help us preserve the true history of the South and to honor our ancestors for their bravery and sacrifices.   Individuals who may not be eligible for full membership may become "Friends of the Alamo Camp" upon recommendation of a member in good standing.

 We meet on the first Thursday of the month at the Hungry Horse Restaurant, 12333 West Avenue in San Antonio.  Meetings begin at 7PM but many of us gather as early as 6PM to eat and visit.  Meetings consist of ceremony, Camp business, a speaker or program and a drawing for door prizes.  We end our meetings with a rousing rendition of "Dixie".  Please join us and bring a relative or friend.
