Posted on June 4, 2017 by Katie Lange
This blog is part of a weekly series called “Medal of Honor Monday,” in which we’ll highlight one of the nearly 3,500 Medal of Honor recipients who have earned the U.S. military’s highest medal for valor.
Since this is the first Medal of Honor Monday in June, we’re honoring the first Marine Corps Medal of Honor recipient, Cpl. John Mackie, who earned the distinction more than 150 years ago.
