5. Civil War Officer to Receive Medal of Honor

A Union Army officer who stood his ground during the Battle of Gettysburg and paid with his life is receiving the nation's highest military honor from President Barack Obama.

Obama on Thursday was bestowing the Medal of Honor on 1st Lt. Alonzo H. Cushing, who was killed in July 1863 during the three-day battle near the Pennsylvania town. The battle often is described as the turning point of the Civil War.

Congress granted an exemption for Cushing's posthumous honor. Recommendations normally must be made within two years of an act of heroism, and the medal presented within three.
