Norwich bulletin., 1918-07-27

Wednesday,, Sept. 17th,when the State and Regimental flags from pa triotic women of Norwich and Stoning- ton were presented the Twenty first, an immense crowd of visitors gathered at the camp. In presenting the beau tiful and significant gift, the late James Lloyd Greene, then Mayor of Nor :7ich said in his address:

Dutton, the ladies of Nor wich and Stonington place this flag in your hands, and in those of the brave men under your command, fully persuaded you will never disgrace it, but will add new lustre to the bril- liancy of its fame. Take it and guard it as the most priceless treasure ever committed to mortal hands. With it they give you the State Flag. of the State 'of Connecticut, confident that your valor and skill will add yet more brightness to the star which represents her in the na- tional flag.
 Take your flags; and trusting in the holiness of your cause, and in, your strong arms, march on to victory and | renown; and when the conflict is over and the victory Won-when freedom s | nag HOdIS nlSn dI.H wide over all the land-the ladies who present you with these colors today will welcome home with all honor the saviors of their beloved land"
 Colonel Dutton, receiving the flag, responded in words whose emphasis i his rank and the gleaming line of bay | Onets borne by his men drawn up be- hind where he stood, made memorably | impressive: Representing this regi- ment as. its chief officer, I desire to | thanks the ladies of Eastern Con- necticut' for their magnificent present At some future day-many months hence, perhaps-we hope to bring these colors back to you, time worn, dust covered, perhaps bullet-torn they may be, but polluted by the touch of a rebel-nevert"
