Galveston 2026

It was a spectacular day in Galveston on January 3, sunny but not too hot and just enough breeze to unfurl the flags, which made for some quality photo and video opportunities. Here is a nice group photo, a gallery with lots of pictures, plus a video at the end. All of the best and some of the rest.

Great day. Great event. Huzzah!

Commander in Chief Kevin Tucker, Department of TX and LA Camps 1, 2 & 18, ASUVCW, DUVCW, MOLLUS, DOLLUS, SVR, Texas Rifles, Harmony Lodge No. 6 and SCV Camp 2182 join forces for the 2026 Battle of Galveston Commemoration Ceremony.
