The Maryland Division Color Guard is well known throughout the Confederacy. We have dedicated the Maryland Monument, and the Longstreet Monument at Gettysburg. We were the official Color Guard for the S.C.V. Centennial Parade, and the Postal Stamp Dedication. Each year we led the Confederate troops in the Gettysburg Remembrance Day Parade. We offer our services for ceremonies in the Mid-Atlantic region for the purpose of honoring our ancestors. We display a full variety of C.S.A. period flags and present a uniformed Color Guard.
