Many monuments at Gettysburg depict flags - and their color bearers - showing their symbolic and tactical significance to the soldiers who fought under the banners.

Sculptor Donald De Lue later created two more monuments for the field, the Louisiana and Mississippi state memorials. (Click image for larger view).
