"To have the opportunity to have of that historical importance here at the Olympia Armory which is home to our State Guard, is really quite an honor," MG McCarty says.
Corporal Gordon Galbraith survived the war and lived out his life in Greenville where he held on to the flag.
Steve Roberts donated the flag said, "I am the brother-in-law of Corporal Galbraith and he gave me the flag when I was in high school. So, I've had it since 1984. I had it hanging on my wall and I just felt like more people needed to appreciate it because I was the only one really seeing this flag and it meant more than that.
The flag was restored and displayed by Carolina Conservation.
