Sergeant Woodward is a retired Certified Texas Peace Officer and County Correctional Officer, having served the people of Texas for approximately 50 years. Since joining the Sons of Confederate Veterans in
2019, he has always asked, "What can I do to help?". A question that led him to be twice decorated by the
Texas Division.

 A self-employed entrepreneur for over 35 years, and a cancer survivor; Adjutant Seiler is the father of our current Camp Commander. Since joining the Sons of Confederate Veterans in 2015, he has taken charge of the camp's finances and membership roster, as well as been awarded the Meritorious Service Medal by Commander-in-Cheif McCluney, and recognized by the SCV Texas Division for three consecutive years with the 100% Membership Retention Award. Rodney didn't know about his southern heritage until he was asked by his best friend, Raymond "Do you have any confederate ancestry?".  It was only after a short time later that it was discovered that he is the lineal descendent of Pvt. Sanford R. Lindsey Jr. of Hobby's 8th Texas Regiment. According to the 1860's census Pvt. Lindsey was listed as "a free man of color."
