A ceremony marks the return of a historic flag from more than 100 years ago to Pennsylvania National Guard headquarters September 29, 2025, at Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania. Joseph Reselli, an electrician and lifelong Pennsylvanian who purchased the flag and donated it, presented the flag to Maj. Gen. John R. Pippy, Pennsylvania’s adjutant general, and Command Sgt. Maj. Shawn Phillips, command senior enlisted advisor.
