| At the annual meeting of The Association of Survivors of the Second Michigan Infantry, at Kalamazoo, October 16, 1888, a committee consisting of Capt. John V. Ruehle, Jr., Capt. John C. Hardy and Capt. J. Handy, was appointed to report upon a design for a regimental badge. At the reunion held at Saginaw, august 29, 1889, this committee reported as follows: "A design of badge and bar to be of gold. The cost will be $-----. The badge to be a seven-pointed star, in general form and dimensions similar to the one adopted by the Kearney division Association; a circle of leaves enclosing the diamond or lozenge of the Third Army Corps in red enamel, the same resting upon the cannon and anchor of the Ninth Army Corps in blue enamel; around the corps badge the words 'Blackburn's Ford, 1861, to Appomattox, 1865'; below in a scroll '2d Mich. Infty'; the badge to be suspended from a bar pin by a red ribbon. The committee also suggest that the issue of badges shall be confined to the following persons only: First, to those who were identified with the regiment and served in it during any of the following campaigns, and were honorably discharged from the regiment" The Peninsular Campaign, under McClellan; in Virginia, under Pope, Virginia, under Burnside, Kentucky, under Burnside, Mississippi, under Grant, Mississippi under Sherman, Tennessee under Burnside, or the final campaign against Richmond under Grand; second, to the nearest surviving heir of any member of the regiment who was killed, died of wounds or disease in the service or died since mustered out (if honorably discharges), the intention being that every member who served creditably with this regiment may hereafter be represented by this badge , and none others." This report was adopted and the same committee made a permanent one to carry out its provisions. |
