GOOD FOR YOU!! What were the medals that the Confederacy gave out?? Rhonda Houston Rhonda, You said: "And of course, all the men listed were from both sides, Confederate and Union. - Rhonda Houston" I'm pretty sure that the U. S. Government never presented a MOH to a Confederate soldier. After all, they were the "enemy" to the Union. (And I say this as the proud descendant of 6 Mississipi cavalry soldiers). I've scanned the U.S.Army MOH list, and couldn't find one. Do you have a citation that states otherwise? I know that the Confederacy gave out medals - but not the U.S. MOH. Jack
