Nice...but (small point) there are no Medal of Honor "winners." They are MOH "recipients."

So true. I noticed that in the HC news item.

What's the total number of HC grads that have received the MOH? I know Fr. O'Callaghan.

The 3rd is 2nd Lt John Power '42 of Worcester; leading his Marines against pill boxes on the island of Numar in the Pacific while mortally wounded; his statute is on the Worcester Commons; the small memorial outside Hogan is from the USS Power, named for him; he was a student of Fr O'Callahan [as was Judge Paul Mullaney '42 a Silver Star in Korea, now '93]

In the back of my mind, I keep thinking there was one more MoH recipient from HC. Unfortunately, this was a topic opn the old board, and the name, if there was indeed a fourth, would have been posted there. __________________ Richard Worsham Meade, class of 1853, though he appears to have left early. Meade was the first Naval officer appointed from California.
In 1863, as commander of the USS Marblehead, fought the Battle Of Legareville (near Charleston). Four members of his crew received the MoH; he was prohibited by law from being a recipient as a regular officer.
