A little fact about the Medal of Honor.
The correct title for the award often called the "Congressional Medal of Honor" is simply "MEDAL OF HONOR" and the men who have received it prefer to be called "RECIPIENTS" (of the award), not "winners". It is the only United States Military Award that is worn from a ribbon hung around the neck, and the only award presented "By the President In the Name of the Congress".
The 4th honoree is John Ward. Awarded for actions during the Indian War Campaign, April 25, 1875.

Division: 24th U.S. Infantry Indian Scouts
Born: Arkansas
Entered Service At: Fort Duncan, Tex
Place / Date: At Pecos River, Tex., 25 April 1875
With 3 other men, he participated in a charge against 25 hostiles while on a scouting patrol.
