Description
Excerpt from History of the Stars and Bars
Three times have I been a soldier at my country''s call, twice fighting under the Stars and Stripes and once under the ''stars and Bars.'' While with Taylor, south of the Rio Grande, a unit in that proud army that never let an enemy touch our flag; in Utah with Albert Sidney Johnston, 1857 - 1858, I learned what the ?ag meant to the men who were willing to give their lives for ''old Glory'' every day and every hour in the day. A soldier''s flag must be his inspiration. It stands for home, kindred and country; it must be something more than a piece of hunting or the blending of bright colors.
