Rick is a wonderful battlefield guide, almost any obscure question you have, I would be confident he could answer our expound on the topics. I would definitely ask for him as a guide again

[@addressinggettysburg]

Oh we're planning on it!

[@timm1894]

Rick and Bob together are exceptional

[@addressinggettysburg]

yes they are

[@toddtheiste5068]

Always keep in mind, the Medal of Honor was the only medal awarded during the Civil War. And being mentioned in reports/dispatches the only other way to be recognized officially.

[@addressinggettysburg]

Right. Wasn’t the reports/dispatches the main way Confederates recognized and awarded gallantry, etc.?
