DEPARTMENT ORDER # 8, 2022-2023
- It is my sad duty to report the passing of Brother Samuel C. Gant, Past Department Commander.
- Br. Sam was a Past Camp Commander of Fort Donelson Camp #62. While in that office he rejuvenated a Camp that had become less active, bringing it back to good health. He had a huge skill in being able to get others involved in the Camp and in the Department. He was also talented in getting the Order publicity – and ensuring that it had the optics. Often, he would find ways to have the father and son imagery involved to emphasize the hereditary nature of our work. Br. Sam continued this leadership and was our Department Commander on two different occasions.
- Sam led and promoted many other activities in Middle Tennessee to promote history and Civil War preservation. He was proud of his Union ancestry, with his grandfather and at least six grand-uncles serving in the U.S. Army. Br. Sam also served our country in the U.S. Air Force.
- With the passing of our very good friend and beloved brother, I order the Department Charter, all Camp Charters and Membership Badges to be draped in black. Please keep Br. Gant’s family and friends, his Camp, and community in your prayers and thoughts. He will be sincerely missed by all.
- This order shall remain in effect for thirty days.
Ordered this 19 day of January 2023.
In Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty,
