	Greetings Southern Comrades, I am requesting your assistance with getting the message out for a very important cause. The cause is the preservation and restoration of the 60th Virginia Regimental flag located in the Museum of the Confederacy. This flag is about to be lost to time and is in dire need of preservation. On August 3, 2012 permission was granted by the Museum of the Confederacy to seek donations to protect and preserve this valuable piece of American History. The flag has not been previously conserved or treated and was among the 282 unidentified regimental flags held by the U.S. War Department that were returned to The Museum of the Confederacy (MOC), per Joint Resolution No. 43 of June 29, 1906. It was delivered to the MOC on July 13, 1906. While the museum was located within the White House of the Confederacy, the flag was stored there. When the new museum facility opened in 1976, it was transferred into that building (where it resides today). The condition is of such a concern that the conservator has recommended that this flag be advanced 'at the top of the priority list to halt any further loss.' There is much damage from battle and time, but this is a very viable piece for restoration. Much work needs to be done and soon. The expense for restoration is $16,500, but we believe that we cannot put a price tag on what this flag represents. Many men were wounded or died beneath this flag, marching straight into the enemy. In our hearts they have all marched into immortality. Please go to: http://www.60thvirginiainfantryregiment.com to obtain more information about this hard fighting regiment and help save this flag.
