::Yep, I've already removed that statement because it was so unclear what it referred to - and figured that a clearer statement could be added back to the article if it was sorted out on this talk page. 

 ::I did add a quote about glory from Governor Andrew Of the regiment, Governor John A. Andrew: "I know not where, in all human history, to any given thousand men in arms there has been committed a work at once so proud, so precious, so full of hope and glory." It seems at this point nothing more needs to be done. Thanks for your input!
