New sticker suggestion/request: Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) member [closed]

The Grand Army of the Republic is one of the oldest American fraternal organizations and at the time of its peak it was a huge body with more than 410,000 members in 1890.  We could equate the DAR with the modern day VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars).

GAR membership was exclusively for Civil War veterans and as the vets died out, the organization shrank until 1956 when it was disolved.  The Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War succeeded the GAR and inherited all of its records and historical documents.

For those ancestors who were members of this organization, I'd like to have a sticker for their profiles.

I made a sticker mock up:

thanks for your consideration!

Your sticker are amazing cousin you really are amazing
I can't see it on my work computer, but I would use the sticker. I have created a lot of profiles of members in conjunction with the African American Project.
The sticker looks really good.  I would use it on profiles.
Love it!

Yes, this sticker would be appropriate and is well-designed. Let me know when it's ok'd for use -- then I have to go back and apply it to sooooo many profiles.
