                              Lincoln's Banner Regiment

On August 15, 1862 this regiment was awarded a banner by President       Abraham Lincoln for being the first unit to reach  Washington in answer       to his call for an additional 300,000 men.       The President reviewed the regiment commenting, "That it was the best       appearing regiment that he had ever seen in the service  save  for one, the       Ellsworth regiment."

     
                         

Major General Henry Warner Slocum, commander of both the12th and 20th Army Corps.  In as much as the 107th New York Volunteer Infantry was assigned to both, they adopted as their slogan his answer to General Meade's question regarding the proper action for the Union Army at Gettysburg.             Slocum's Men: "Stay and Fight it out"
