Historic Pa. National Guard flag returns to Fort Indiantown Gap
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. It is believed to date from 1920-21, soon after the National Defense Act of 1920 reorganized the U.S. armed forces and formally designated the National Guard, which had previously been known as militias.
