Since its formation, many honors have been bestowed upon them such among these being named the offical color-guard unit for the Military Order of the Stars and Bars, Mississippi Society. The unit, while being primarily a loose administrative organization, insists an strict authenticity in uniforms, weapons, accoutrements, and more especially, attitudes. Military courtesy and deportment is expected during duty hours and drill is performed with the sharpness and precision expected of a Marine unit. Whether involved in Hardee's Light Infantry or artillery drill, members of the Battalion take great pride in their superior performance. While insisting on the above while on duty, we relax in the evening around the campfire.
General conversation tends to be lively, humorous, and informal.
We also stress that we are a family oriented group. Women and children in proper period clothing, are always welcome in our camp.
