Matter of Perspective

In the U.S. Army a battalion's flag is an extremely important symbol of the lineage of a particular battalion and goes wherever the battalion goes. For every major battle the unit participated in, they are allowed to attach a streamer signifying that participation. The lineage of many National Guard units goes back to the civil war so it is not unusual to see streamers with names like Gettysburgh, Cold Harbor, Antietam, etc.

While providing security for the Olympics in Atlanta, we were visited by members of National Guard units from some of the southern states. After taking a look at the streamers on our battalions flag, one of the visiting officers mentioned that it was interesting that their battalion's flag carried some of the same streamers. Without missing a beat, one of our staff officers replied, "Yeah, but ours don't say second place."
