Highlighting Some Historic Veterans! (Part 1)

We begin our look at some great Veterans in our Nation’s history by highlighting some Medal of Honor recipients! There were some surprising things I learned about some of the people who have received the honor. Including the first recipient, the only woman recipient, and the youngest recipient ( a 12 year old)! We even look a some who were first for their specific race and the only Coast Guard recipient. The Highlighted Person is someone who is surprisingly buried near my home!
