 President Biden will award the Medal of Honor today to two U.S. Army soldiers who served in the Civil War. Private Philip Shadrach and Private George Wilson were two Union soldiers. On April 12, 1862, they dressed as civilians, infiltrated the Confederacy, hijacked a train in Georgia, and drove it north for 87 miles, destroying infrastructure as they went. Six men in the group became the Army's first recipients of the newly created Medal of Honor. But Shadrach and Wilson were left out.
