Geocache Description:

A series honoring the brave that went above and beyond the regular call of duty to their country.
These caches are not about being difficult, but in remembering the true heros of this great country of ours. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

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.

Rank: Sergeant
Organization: U.S. Army
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.
