Spanish American War CAC Battery Flag • 29th Co, CAC ID’d

Description: NOTE ******************************************************** How I got my uniforms This uniform was obtained by my grandfather. My grandfather went to the GA Military Academy when he was young. He served in the GA National Guard as a piolet. He crashed a plane while he was in the National Guard and was in traction well over a year and afterwards he opened several service stations in Savannah, GA around Hunter Army Airfield. He was given much more ration tickets than the average person because of his business. (I guess it's called profiteering.) Soldiers from Enlightened Men to Officers would trade military uniforms, flags, guidons, coins, liquor, etc for gasoline, tires, batteries, etc. This is how he built his collection. My grandfather passed away September 09, 2000 at the age of 89 years old. I inherited his collections. I wanted to keep everything and open a museum one day, but my baby girl, Allison, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia April 3, 2021. I had to sell my collection of to help my daughter to be as comfortable as she can be while she is still taking her Chemotherapy. Her case was reduced to Chronic Myeloid Leukemia around October of 2021. My oldest daughter, Caitlin, is an exact match for Allison with her bone marrow. I kept asking why we can't go ahead with the transplant. I was told in November that she will have to start radiation therapy for the transplant. This will sterilize her, making it impossible for her to have children when she gets older and it will push her into menopause by 13. They are holding off as long as they can. They want to wait until she starts her cycle. But her levels have started going up and the Chemotherapy that she is taking is very hard on the body. We are now going to a Pediatric Oncologist, Pediatric Hematologist, Pediatric Endocrinologist , & Psychiatrist. They are suspecting that the Sprycel is damaging her body. She is only supposed to be on it for 6 months to push her body into molecular remission. She has never gone into remission in the last year in a half..... Anyway, this is why I'm selling my collection and where it came from. It's been in my family for at the most 90 years. . ******************************************************** Identified Pre WW1 29th Company, Coast Artillery Corps Silk Battery Flag * Theater Made Circa 1907-1908 owned by Capt Geo A Nugent from Michigan. ”This is a Pre-WWI CAC Battery Flag aka Flank Marker out of Ft.
