The call from Keith Jacobson of San Diego was a most welcome surprise. Keith was attempting to research the history of a “uniform” found among the treasures he inherited from his grandfather, Sidney Brockman. A fried of Keith’s had told him it might be a Kentucky Colonel’s uniform. And, indeed it is!! To our knowledge, only a handful of the uniforms were made. The year was 1931. The detail in Keith’s uniform exactly match the uniform description found in the May 1931 minutes of the organizational meeting of what was then The Kentucky Colonels. Here’s the photo(s) Keith was kind enough to send us. The inserts at the bottom show the detail of the braiding, buttons (the seal of Kentucky), and the “aide-de-camp” insignia worn on the sleeve. By the way, a tag inside the jacket indicates the uniform was made for Colonel W. B. Dunlap. THANKS KEITH!

We work very hard at the Honorable Order to keep our so called “fund raising” expense at an absolute minimum. We’re proud that over the last ten years, we have averaged a fund raising expense in the single digits. That means just about every penny we receive from you goes to support charitable and education causes. But, we do have to pay the bills. That’s why occasionally we partner with another organization in an effort to raise money.
Many organizations today offer what are called “Affinity” credit cards to provide income for operational and charitable services. The Kentucky Colonels Platinum Plus® MasterCard credit card is one of them. It works this way: For each card issued, Bank of America makes a “contribution” to the Honorable Order. Then, as the card is used, the Honorable Order receives a fraction of one percent of the amount charged. There is no additional cost to you.
You may receive an offer for The Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels Platinum Plus® MasterCard® credit card with WorldPoints® rewards from Bank of America in the mail. It is a No-Annual-Fee card, delivering premium service, great rewards and attention to security that is deserved by members of the Honorable Order. We actually get a larger contribution if the bank is told you heard about the card directly from us. The financial specifics and all the details are available by clicking this weird looking link:

If you are renewing your Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels auto license plate, you MUST present a current year Honorable Order Membership Card. Colonels purchasing the plate for the first time must also present a current year membership card.
