Flag stained with Lincoln's blood on display in Milford

[Rsmyth]

Well, I know that when the Lincoln Flag travelled to Wash. DC last year it had to be placed in a special box and shipped by special carrier. Then the Pike County Historical Society had to obtain a special insurance premium. All those "specials" cost money and the society is small, located in a very small town supported only by donations. Almost every penny they had went to replace the roof a few years ago. The fact that they let the flag go to another small historical society was really a nice gesture. They once asked the Conneticut Historical Society to borrow their Fords flag and were turned down because of an inadequate security system.
