Good on you, Mate, as the saying goes. I would enjoy seeing it some time, Joe. My son, Joe, lives in Fredricksburg, VA, right in "the belly of the beast", as the revolutionary war goes. I have been privileged (and honored) to visit many of the battlefields. 73, lh On 7/5/2012 10:39 AM, Joe Bauman wrote:
Hi Steve, We flew the Bennington Flag, which has special meaning for us. One of the Revolutionary War veterans whose daguerreotypes I own was the last survivor of the Battle of Bennington. I know the actual flag -- which is in the Bennington Museum -- has been assessed as having been made early in the 19th century as part of the Bennington Day celebrations, but we love it. Its union has a big 76 on it, as well as stars. -- Joe
