The Flag is flying over Detroit's G.A.R. Hall!

Sometimes things turn out for the better. Detroit's G.A.R. Building had a Flag Raising Ceremony last Saturday, November 3, 2012. The flag hasn't flown over the building in 50 years! The structure has remained vacant for over 20 years. It is now being completely restored by an independent company. Plans are set to have a Grand Opening in 2013. There will be a G.A.R. Museum inside-along with various offices and businesses. How wonderful to think that the place where the old Union Civil War veterans had their meetings and "kept green the memory" (and talked about Lincoln?)-will be an active place once again. Like I said, sometimes things do turn out right.[/align]

I hope it happens, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
