Department of Iowa

Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War

Permanent Relocation of "Big Red" Flag

Having heard the arguments put forth by the Citadel regarding the Big Red Flag, the Department of Iowa hereby confers its full endorsement of the Citadel’s plan to request permanent relocation of the flag to South Carolina, contingent on the terms put forward to the Sons as of this time. This decision was reached in a conference of the current and Past Department Commanders of Iowa, and ratified through the Department Council.

Order No. 4 relates to the "Big Red Flag," an artifact that symbolizes The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina. Citadel research has indicated that this flag may have been flown over a battery that fired on federal supply ships prior to the commonly accepted start of the Civil War. The flag is the property of the State Historical Society of Iowa, and is currently located in South Carolina on an extended loan to the Citadel.

The Citadel Alumni Association contacted the officers of the Department of Iowa, requesting an endorsement of their plan to request an indefinite extension of this loan from the SHSI. Under the proposed plan, the SHSI would maintain ownership of the flag, but the flag itself would continue to be housed in the display where it currently resides.

After a conference of Past Department Commanders of Iowa and ratification by a majority of the current Department Council, an endorsement was extended on the following principles:

1) The flag was not captured in battle, and no American lives were lost in the taking of it. It was purchased by an Iowan after the end of the war, and eventually given to the SHSI.

2) The flag was not a symbol of the Confederate government nor military, nor associated with any hate group, representing instead a separate institution.

3) The Citadel facility currently housing the flag, the product of an estimated 1.5 million dollar investment, represents the artifact's best chance for long term safety and visibility.

The Department's endorsement was granted contingent on the terms presented to it, including a commitment to advertise the role Iowans played in the maintenance and restoration of the flag over the years.
