Mr. Douglas Hinton’s Continued Support of Save the Flags
As a part of the annual Jackson, MI Civil War Muster, Mr. Douglas Hinton was honored by Save the Flags for his adoption of a flag that he donated to the collection, used by the Governor Austin Blair Camp of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War in the early 1900’s. Douglas’ donation of the flag and his donation of $1,000 to help us care for the flags continues his long support of our project. We are in his debt. Our thanks to the owners of the Daisy Saloon for hosting our event.
