The Forgotten Hero of Gettysburg

In 1941, a 23-year-old soldier named Alonzo H. Cushing fought in a battle so intense, it changed the course of American history. He stood on the front lines at Gettysburg, firing his cannon while bullets whizzed by. But here's the twist — he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor 151 years later! Cushing died bravely leading his men during Pickett's Charge, yet his heroism went unnoticed for decades. Imagine a hero hidden in the shadows of time, waiting to be recognized. His courage not only shaped a pivotal moment in the Civil War but also reminds us that honor can take generations to recognize.
