DC Tom Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 The entire Union center held against Pickett's charge. That's not medal worthy. (Actually, if you read what he actually did - kept the remnants of his battery in line after being ordered to withdraw, refused to be evacuated after being wounded in the stomach and groin, continued to command his battery until he took a bullet in the mouth - it's a well-overdue award. Medals of Honor have been awarded for less.)
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I had seen this and was pretty excited to learn about it. I grew up a block from Cushing St. in Fredonia; the name means a lot in the town and the area.
