Acknowledgments
The Sixty-fifth Anniversary History Book of the Military Order of Stars and Bars is now a reality. Although all Departments, Societies, and Chapters did not take part in this project, I am pleased with the response of those who did participate.
Commander-General Jeffery Massey decided that an update of the Sixtieth Anniversary History Book
was needed. After appointing me Editor, he gave his support in the production of this Sixty-fifth Anniversary History Book
and has provided information about the United Confederate Veterans
.
A membership roster together with a chapter roster are vital parts of this sixty-fifth year issue. This data was made available thanks to the diligent support of Executive Director Ben C. Sewell, III and staff at International Headquarters. I am grateful to them for all their work to make this book a success.
The history of the MOS&B was prepared in part from information by Past Commander-General, Col. Lindsey P. Henderson, and other contributors to the Fiftieth Anniversary Book.
Additional information was obtained from the Sixtieth Anniversary History Book
and many contributors, too numerous to mention. To these people, I am indebted.
Information provided by several Society and Chapter Commanders, and Past Commander-General Troy Massey have allowed us to feature some Real Sons in this book. I regret that all living Real Sons are not featured. Their number is growing smaller day by day.
My personal thanks goes to Associate Editor Charles Hawks who worked many long hours on this book, and with his vast knowledge of printing techniques and editing, provided the needed assistance to get this book to the publisher. Without his help this book would not have been finished.
A special thanks goes to Darwin Roseman whose computer expertise saved the day for us when we experienced problems. To everyone else who offered advice and furnished material for this publication, I say thank you.
I’m certain that in the years to come there will be another history book project. I entreat all future Commanders at all levels to work toward the preservation of their histories, so information will be readily available when needed for the next book.
I have enjoyed my work on this History Book and have enjoyed talking to so many of you about information for this book. Thanks to everyone.
