FIRST CAMP
Old Glory Camp No. 33- Chicago- Chartered before 1937The first Sons’ Camp in the United States, the nucleus of today’s great organization, was the Col. Rice W. Means Camp, No. 1, of New York City. Brought into being at a time when legislation affecting Veterans of the Spanish-American War was being introduced into Congress, its modest debut into the realm of junior allied veteran groups was scarcely noted in the more pressing affairs of the hour. To a few deeply interested veterans, however, it meant the transportation into reality of a dream - the fulfillment of a fond hope.
