I have both of the 54th flag-bearers on pre-order and I'm very much looking forward to receiving them! :D
 
Image is of William H. Carney's valor at Fort Wagner was honored on May 23, 1900, when he was awarded the Medal of Honor. That was almost 40 years after he so proudly served with the 54th Massachusetts Regiment.
