28th Virginia Infantry Regiment – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring the Valor of the 28th Virginia Infantry

The 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag commemorates one of Virginia’s most distinguished Confederate units. Organized in May 1861, the regiment drew companies from Bedford, Campbell, and Amherst Counties. It fought with the Army of Northern Virginia under General Pickett and gained lasting fame during the Battle of Gettysburg. This flag honors their courage, unity, and the enduring legacy of Virginia’s citizen-soldiers.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This reproduction reflects the Confederate battle flag pattern carried by the regiment throughout much of the war. The bold blue St. Andrew’s cross with white edging displays thirteen stars, representing the Confederate states. The vivid red field symbolizes sacrifice and determination. Along the arms of the cross appear the unit’s markings — “28 TH VA. INF.” — a distinction that identified the regiment’s colors amid the chaos of battle.

The flag served as both a rallying point and a symbol of devotion. Moreover, it connects modern viewers to the soldiers who advanced beneath its folds during the charge at Gettysburg, where the 28th Virginia captured a Union flag before losing their own — one of the most famous color exchanges of the war.

Proudly Made in the USA
