Greg, I truly appreciate your perspective. Although the "flag" vs. "flags" issue isn't a topic in which I claim ANY expertise, I've spent a great deal of time researching the 37th Alabama regiment you mentioned in your post. I'd be most appreciative of your insight (or the insight of other flag experts) on what I've written about the 37th Alabama's "flag." The link below will take you to that page within my regimental site.
If you'd prefer, please e-mail me directly: chip@manganholcomb.com
Thanks.
