Member Activities

The Order of Confederate Gray has been formed from a need to honor the confederate patriots of the north Texas area. The organization, in most cases, can supply a Confederate Color Guard, as well as a fully equipped Guard of Honor for dedications etc. Members donate their time by placing headstones, cleaning, restoring and documenting confederate headstones in the North Texas area. The Order of Confederate Gray is independent, and not affiliated with any organization, but enjoy membership from various reenacting units, Sons of Confederate Veterans camps, and historical societies.
