"Above And Beyond The Call Of Duty: Chickamauga’s Medal Of Honor Recipients" Program Is March 15

  • Thursday, February 27, 2025
Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park will host a ranger-led, 90-minute tour on 
Saturday, March 15 at 2 p.m., exploring the stories associated with some of the soldiers who were awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military decoration, for actions that occurred during the Battle of Chickamauga. 

Participants will meet at the Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center before starting this car caravan tour, and dress accordingly for the weather; a folding chair might be desirable.

Officials said, "Acts of valor were not uncommon during the fighting at Chickamauga, but what acts went above and beyond the call of duty which led to awarding the Medal of Honor? This tour will explore some of the individual soldier’s stories and how they ultimately received the nation’s highest honor."
