Camp Constitution Press Reprints the 1928 U.S. Army Manual and Major General John Stark Biography
Camp Constitution Press has reprinted two books that, we believe have been long out of print: The 1928 U.S. Army Training Manual, a 192-page book concerning U.S. History, the U.S. Constitution, and citizenship, and Major General John Stark Hero of Bunker Hill and Bennington 1728-1822 by Leon W. Anderson 32 pages
The 1928 U.S. Army Training Manual was written by a person or persons who loved the United States and promoted its true history. The author or authors also knew the dangers of communism, socialism and collectivism. In the book, we read “Socialism kills–The doctrine of ‘socialism’ is ‘collectivism.” It tears down the social structure…” The book rightly defines the United States as a republic and denounced democracy as a system that “results in demagogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.” Therefore, the New Dealers did not like this book and in 1933. Franklin Roosevelt ordered all the copies of the manual removed from military posts and destroyed. Thankfully, some copies survived. The Foreword is written by Mr. Bernie Alessandrini, founder of Article IV, Section IV, Reclaim our Republic. http://ArticleIVSection4.com
Major General John Stark Hero of Bunker Hill and Bennington 1728 – 1822 is a condensed story (32) pages by Leon W. Anderson and originally published in 1972. It tells the exploits of the man who coined the term “Live Free or Die” the official motto of the State of New Hampshire. From his capture by Indians as a young man to his leading soldiers at the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Battle of Bennington where he told his men “There are your enemies, the Red Coats and the Tories. They are ours or Molly Stark sleeps a widow,” this short book is a tribute to this great patriot and citizen-soldier.
These two books are available for purchase from our on-line bookstore: https://campconstitution.net/shop/

New York Times Denies Ad to Italian-American Organizations Defending Columbus
New York City, NY — The Conference of Presidents of Major Italian American Organizations
(COPOMIAO) has denounced the decision of the New York Times’ Ad Acceptability Team to not
run an advertisement promoting the Italian American community’s stance on current rhetoric
against Christopher Columbus in advance of the Columbus Day holiday on October 11.
The ad, which was to appear on Monday, September 27, in the New York Times, as well as the
Wall Street Journal and Washington Post, sought to dispel claims against Columbus that have
been promoted by opponents of statues and celebrations in his honor. These claims include
accusing Columbus of racism as well as mistreatment and enslavement of the native tribes he
encountered. Both Wall Street Journal and Washington Post will run the advertisement in
question on the planned publication date.
In their response to COPOMIAO, the New York Times provided incorrect information regarding
Columbus’s treatment of Native Americans that has been disproven by several scholars on the
subject. The response also incorrectly stated that Columbus Day observances cannot be linked
to the 1891 lynching of 11 Italian Americans in New Orleans, despite evidence to the contrary.
“Many Italian Americans believe that The New York Times has a lengthy history of insensitivity
toward our community,” said Basil M. Russo, president, Conference of Presidents of Major
Italian American Organizations. “This began with an editorial applauding the 1891 lynching of 11
Italian immigrants and continues to this day with the Times’ unwillingness to allow our
community the opportunity to defend our history and heritage.”
COPOMIAO urges Americans of all races and ethnicities to examine the current discussions
surrounding Christopher Columbus, especially the misinformation that has been promoted in
recent years due to works such as Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. For
more information and to view the Columbus ad in question, visit www.copomiao.org/history.
Interviews with Basil Russo, president of the Conference of Presidents of Major Italian American
Organizations, are available upon request.

Camp Constitution Flag Contest Winners
At the closing ceremonies of our annual family camp, we announced a contest to design a Camp Constitution flag. The winner would get their camp tuition paid for 2022. We encouraged parents to help as well. Initially, we were just going to choose one flag but we got some entries from junior campers-camp attendees eleven and under. So, we decided to choose two flags-one that will be the flag for Camp Constitution and one that will be the flag for the junior campers.
The winner for the junior camper flag is Lielle Chu who drew this flag:
The winner for the Camp Constitution flag is David Krutov. One of his younger siblings will get a free tuition for next year’s camp.
Dave explains the symbolism in his flag:
The Cross represents Jesus, and how he is central to our philosophy. The dates are representative Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The entire assembly represents “Honoring the past.” The stripes represent America in the present, and thus “Teaching the Present” And finally, the triangle is swept forward, which represents moving forward, thus is symbolic of “Preparing the Future”
We will have several 3′ x 5′ versions of these flags made, and be on display at our family camps, and other events. Thanks to all who participated in the contest, and congratulations to Lielle and Dave.
