Thank you very much for for posting this. I can get all worked up about our flag. I will drag everyone in my house and the next door neighbor's to see it here.
Your post is a great companion piece to the story of the bicycle riding young patriot and the support he received.
If I had a couple more bucks , about 32,000 more, I would have bought this flag for the Cavalry Museum I will build one day. I already have a bugle.
I hope this flag was purchased by by an organization that might display this treasure as a teaching exhibit.
I drive my grandchildren crazy telling them about my Gettysburg visit.

As do I my friend.
