Historical Background:

The Lebanon War Office was George Washington’s headquarters and a critical meeting location during the American Revolution. It was also where Governor Jonathan Trumbull coordinated Connecticut's military response to British forces.

The Connecticut Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (founded in the 1880s) held a patriotic event in 1891, just five years after Flag Day was officially recognized. Ribbons like this were typically worn by organizers or committee members, making this more exclusive than general attendee souvenirs.
