Each of the 3,500-plus Medal of Honor Recipients have their own story. Over 3,500 stories of gallantry and intrepidity. However, some stories connect in unusual ways, including one Recipient being related to another Medal of Honor Recipient. From brothers, to cousins, to uncle/nephews, and father/son pairings, it’s truly remarkable when valor runs in the family.
