WEDNESDAY WISDOM “The most important thing I learned is that soldiers watch what their leaders do. You can give them classes and lecture them forever, but it is your personal example they will follow.” – GEN Colin Powell #Armyhistory #USArmy #blackhistorymonth

On 29 Sep, Fleetwood and the 4th RGT fought in the Battle of Chaffin’s Farm. During a charge on Confederate fortifications, the color bearer carrying both the regimental and the national flags fell wounded. Fleetwood and another man took the colors, and Fleetwood led the attack.

Unfortunately, the defenders held firm, and the assault proved futile. Nevertheless, Fleetwood and thirteen other African American soldiers received the Medal of Honor for their heroic actions at Chaffin’s Farm. #Armyhistory #USArmy #TRADOC #CivilWar #MOH

This should be in every school!
