HALLOWEEN CEMETERY WALK to HONOR our WAR DEAD and MIRCEA ELIADE
So LAST year, I hosted a CEMETERY WALK at GRACELAND CEMETERY and ARBORETUM for ‘WEEN which was a GREAT SUCCESS - MANY dear Friends and Comrades showed up and we had a lovely day in beautiful surroundings.
THIS year, we’re gonna visit OAK WOODS CEMETERY, located at 1035 East 67th Street here in CHICAGO.
The CONFEDERATE soldiers who perished at CAMP DOUGLAS (a UNION prison camp that was every bit as brutal as ANDERSONVILLE prison camp in the CSA) are interred there in a mass grave colloquially known as, Confederate Mound.
Micrea Eliade (IRON GUARD veteran and renowned theologian and author) is also buried there.
We’re gonna SALUTE and pay our respects to our Fallen brethren came before us and lay flowers in their honor, as well as pay respects to Mircea Eliade at his final resting place.
OAK WOODS in on the far SOUTH SIDE; I’m going to suggest an EARLY start (around 11:30 AM), and after we complete our walk and ceremonies, we’ll trek North to LASCHETT’S INN for lunch and beer.
An RSVP is not required, but I would appreciate it. I hope to see everyone BACK who was with us last year! - T
Can’t make that, but I will be there for Halloween proper. Have fun gentlemen.
I’ll be hundreds of miles away, but down a cold one for me gents.
