People standing on the bank of the Mississippi River waiting for the Fourth of July fireworks smiled or clapped approvingly as young participants of the TFP Call to Chivalry made their way up the gangplank to the U.S.S. Kidd where they would watch the fireworks show. It was impossible to miss the parade of boys marching down the levee to the sound of drums and Scottish pipes on this Independence Day.

The annual Call to Chivalry summer camp was held again at the St. Louis de Montfort Academy in Herndon, Pennsylvania from August 10-20. The program was attended by dozens of young men from many different states.

From June 30 to July 9, 2009, TFP Student Action co-sponsored the ninth annual Louisiana Call to Chivalry Summer Camp. The theme this year was the Cristero martyrs of Mexico, in particular Blessed José Sanchez del Rio and Blessed Miguel Pro.

The words echoed across the Pennsylvania hills as the boys shouted enthusiastically: "It is better to be an eagle for a minute then a toad for a lifetime."
