It remains a vivid reminder of the men who fought for both freedom and belonging.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This 3′×5′ flag displays the deep-blue field typical of Connecticut regimental colors. At its center, an American eagle spreads its wings proudly above a green harp encircled by laurel leaves.

Together, these images represent valor, unity, and the Irish-American spirit. Moreover, the design reflects how immigrant volunteers strengthened the Union cause through courage and faith.
