Come on out Friday to Cayce-West Columbia Library!
Wednesday, Apr 30, 2025
As we told you earlier, we have a very special program Friday — special in two ways. First, we have “Tunnel Rat” C.W. Bowman speaking again about his experiences in Vietnam at a Relic Room Noon Debrief.
CW himself, checking out the location this week. That’s also him in the image on the screen.
We joined C.W. himself earlier this week as he checked out the new venue, and we’re confident it should be an enjoyable and educational experience for all who come out.
And with the library promoting the event so prominently on their end, we’re hopeful about seeing a few new people, along with our faithful regulars.
Looking ahead, we’ll be at the West Columbia location for a second time on May 30, when Kim Stacy will speak — clad in a British redcoat uniform — about the Battle of Camden. And on September 12, our own Ben Battiste will deliver his program about the History of the M16, which was so well received at Richland Library last month.
By the way, this new venue doesn’t mean we’re not going to Richland anymore. In fact, we have plans for programs there in both June and July. Today’s program is an addition to our efforts to take fascinating stories about military history out the world. We hope in the next few months to resume presenting Noon Debriefs in the Education Room of the museum itself, but even then, we’re likely to continuing having offsite programs. They’re enjoyable, and they give us the chance to share South Carolina’s military heritage with an ever-wider audience.
Come on out and join us at noon Friday, and make plans to do so in the future. We can’t wait to see you…
In honor of America’s 250th, the SC Confederate Relic Room & Military Museum has partnered with the South Carolina State Library to exhibit the Battle of Fort Sullivan.
John Adams was, at the time, certain that July 2 – the day the Second Continental Congress officially voted to sever ties with Great Britain – would always be celebrated by Americans as our Independence Day.
