Museum of Colquitt County  History

Tour Page 18

As you continue to look around the room you notice the 48 star flag which was one used to cover a Veteran's remains when he was buried.  Uniforms from every war since 1940, a shelter half, medals, and other items which show the strength of the men from the County are on display.  Of interest to WWII buffs, is an original scarf from one of the Flying Tigers, along with the jacket insignia used to denote him as an American who was fighting against the Japanese.  A brief tribute to the fallen and the survivors of the Viet Nam War is also on display.
