American Civil War
Twenty-Fifth Regiment Infantry
Before the 25th left Kalamazoo for the front a silk flag was presented to the regiment by the Hon. H. G. Wells, on behalf of the citizens of that place, and a response made by Colonel 0. H. Moore, commanding. The flag was of the regulation standard, with the inscription, " This flag is given in faith that it will be carried where honor and duty lead. " it was first given to the breeze at Green River, Ky., on the morning of July 4th, 1863, where the regiment, with less than 350 men, acquired an enviable reputation for a gallant defense, repulsing the attack of John Morgan with 3,000 men.
