GDG- Inquirying Minds Want to Know: Captured flag

[128thpa at comcast.net]

According to Sauers the flag was returned to Pa and "was installed in the new flag room when it opened in 1873."  However, all the flags are now preserved in a building (I forget the location in Harrisburg).  You can request to see a particular flag by calling in advance.  I have been there and they pulled the 128th Pa flag for me.  They also have the flagstaffs separate from the flags.
