Medal of Honor to be awarded for Gettysburg. . .

It is a stirring story, 22 year old Alonzo Cushing, a First Lieutenant commanding Battery A, 4th U.S. Artillery.  A regular, standing his ground, wounded, keeping up the fire until he was finally hit again and killed.  Battery A was at the center of the Federal line.  The epicenter of action on that third day of battle.  George Pickett's attack was aimed squarely at Alonso Cushing and his guns.
