Lebanon Greys Flag (Company H, 7th Tennessee Infantry Regiment) – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring Tennessee’s Earliest Volunteers

The Lebanon Greys Flag (Company H, 7th Tennessee Infantry Regiment) – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag celebrates one of the most personal banners created during the first months of the Civil War. In April 1861, the women of Lebanon, Tennessee, presented this handmade silk flag to the Lebanon Greys, a company that soon joined the 7th Tennessee Infantry Regiment. The flag’s inscription—“The Women of Lebanon to The Lebanon Greys. GO AND FIGHT!”—captured the community’s fiery patriotism at the dawn of the conflict. Carried proudly as the company departed for Virginia, this banner symbolized devotion, courage, and the sacred bond between soldiers and those who sent them off to war.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This Lebanon Greys Flag (Company H, 7th Tennessee Infantry Regiment) Flag faithfully recreates the documented design preserved in the Tennessee State Museum Collection and Wake Forest University’s archives. Its pale-blue silk field bears the Tennessee State Seal within a gilded wreath, surrounded by painted inscriptions reading “TENNESSEE” and “The Women of Lebanon to The Lebanon Greys. GO AND FIGHT!” Although the original was made of fine silk, this reproduction uses durable SolarGuard® nylon to retain the appearance while offering outdoor strength. The straightforward layout, accented by elegant gold lettering, expresses the unity and pride of a small Tennessee town whose sons would soon march to war beneath this emblem of faith and honor.

Proudly Made in the USA

Each flag is FMAA-certified, ensuring genuine American workmanship — Flag Manufacturers Association of America (FMAA). Skilled makers craft every flag from SolarGuard® nylon, chosen for its vivid color and resistance to fading. A sturdy canvas heading with brass grommets provides secure mounting both indoors and outdoors. In addition, each piece reflects America’s continuing dedication to quality and historical preservation.

Commemorate America’s Civil War Heritage

This banner honors both the soldiers of Company H and the women of Lebanon who inspired them to serve. The 7th Tennessee Infantry went on to fight gallantly at Seven Pines, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and the Overland Campaign. Furthermore, the flag’s motto — fierce, direct, and unforgettable — embodies the patriotic energy that surged across Tennessee in 1861. Whether displayed in a museum, classroom, or private collection, this reproduction preserves the enduring connection between community and cause.
