As he should. Glad its being given, Cushing's actions were simply incredible. Back in late march, standing at the high water mark....just so hard to describe the feeling of standing there and imagining all that happened.

That's really neat. I did a self-walking tour of the battlefield years and years ago, but I can't remember if he was mentioned. I'll have to go back next time I visit the parents and see if he is mentioned now (they've done a lot of renovations since last time I was there).
