    List of Native American Medal of Honor recipients 1 List of Native American Medal of Honor recipients This is a list of Native Americans awarded the nation's highest military decoration — the Medal of Honor. The Medal of Honor is bestowed "for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life, above and beyond the call of duty, in actual combat against an armed enemy force." The medal is awarded by the President of the United States on behalf of the Congress. Of the 3,469 Medals of Honor awarded as of 2010, 28 have been awarded to Native Americans. The Medal of Honor was created during the American Civil War and is the highest military decoration presented by the United States government to a member of its armed forces. The recipient must have distinguished themselves at the risk of their own life above and beyond the call of duty in action against an enemy of the United States. Due to the nature of this medal, it is commonly presented posthumously.[1] List of recipients This along with * indicates that the Medal of Honor was awarded posthumously William Alchesay Elsatsoosu Gregory "Pappy" Pompey Factor Boyington List of Native American Medal of Honor recipients 2 Mitchell Red Cloud Woodrow Keeble Name Tribe/Nation Rank Place of action Date of Notes Service Conflict action Co-Rux-Te-Chod-Ish Pawnee Army Sergeant Indian Republican July 8, 1869 "Ran out from the Wars River, Kansas command in pursuit of a dismounted Indian; was shot down and badly wounded by a bullet from his own command" Chiquito White Mountain Army Scout Indian

  • History of the 7Th Infantry Division
    History of the 7th Infantry Division BAYONET! The BAYONET was forged in the fields of France, tempered on the frozen tundra and mountains of the Aleutians, the coral atolls and islands of the South Pacific, and then honed razor sharp in the mountains and rice paddies of Korea. The Bayonet--or the 7th Infantry Division, as it is officially known--continued to stand guard in Korea, manning our outpost line in strife-ridden Korea until 1971 when the Division was returned to US soil for the first time since 1943. The Division was assigned to Fort Lewis, Washington, and inactivated for a brief period of time. In October 1985, the Division was resurrected as the 7th Infantry Division (Light) at its old post, Fort Ord, California. The Lightfighters of the Bayonet Division were called to the Honduras in 1988 for "Operation Golden Pheasant" and to Panama in 1989-90 for "Operation Just Cause." In August 1993, the Division was reassigned to Fort Lewis and subsequently inactivated in June 1994. The 7th Infantry Division was re-activated June 4, 1999, at Fort Carson, Colorado and inactivated in August 2006. The Division is now being re- activated at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washing on October 1, 2012. WORLD WAR I Organized originally to serve in the AEF in World War I, the 7th (its Hourglass insignia dates back to 1918) saw little action as a unit, although it carried some notoriety by having helped the S. S. Leviathan set a troop- carrying record of 13,585 passengers on one crossing. It was October 11, a month before the Armistice, when the 7th was shelled for the first time.
