While in your keeping, I feel assured that its motto, 'Liberty or Death', will ever be your watch-word, inspiring each and all of you to noble and heroic deeds of daring, which will render your names immortal. Accept this flag and with it, the prayers and best wishes of the donor, for your health, happiness and triumphant success on every battle-field and when the bloody struggle is over, may you return, unharmed, to your home, to enjoy the fruits of liberty and independence. And now... 'Soldiers, mount thy gallant steeds; Seek, seek the ranks of war; 'Tis better, there, in death to bleed Than drag a tyrant's car.' 'Strike, strike, nor think the blow unseen That frees the the limbs where chains have been; One glance, one kiss, then soldiers on And view another Marathon.' ''ON, on, we conquer or we die', Must be the South's resounding cry; And glorious will be your glad reply The shout of death or liberty.' The flag was accepted on behalf of the Company by Mr. F. C. Shropshire in a neat and eloquent speech. http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/PhillipsLegion/InfCoD.html Kurt Graham's page Phillips Legion Infantry - Co D - The Polk Rifles Edward Adkins - Enlisted 9/14/1861, Died from injury received on railroad near Augusta, Ga.
