"While these colors were in our care and keeping, they were never disgraced or dishonored; they were never captured or taken from us; they were never lowered when they should have been borne aloft; they were never in the rear when they should have been in the front; and they were never furled, when they should have been unfurled and thrown to the breeze; that under their folds and following their lead, and fighting in their defence, hundreds of our comrades sacrificed and suffered and died that the honor and integrity of the Old Commonwealth might be maintained, the Union preserved and the perpetuity of the Republic established." John Hersey, Co. H, to Governor Draper
