A quote to live by...

Know Your Medal of Honor Recipients:

Pilot John H. Ferrell (US Navy) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on December 6, 1864, on board the US Monitor Neosho. His citation reads:

Served on board the U.S. Monitor Neosho during the engagement with enemy batteries at Bells Mills, Cumberland River, near Nashville, Tenn., 6 December 1864. Carrying out his duties courageously during the engagement, Ferrell gallantly left the pilothouse after the flag and signal staffs of that vessel had been shot away and, taking the flag which was drooping over the wheelhouse, make it fast to the stump of the highest mast remaining although the ship was still under a heavy fire from the enemy.

Sergeant Daniel T. Ferrier (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on May 9, 1864, at Varnells Station, Georgia. His citation reads:

While his regiment was retreating, voluntarily gave up his horse to his brigade commander who had been unhorsed and was in danger of capture, thereby enabling him to rejoin and rally the disorganized troops. Sgt. Ferrier himself was captured and confined in Confederate prisons, from which he escaped and, after great hardship, rejoined the Union lines.

First Lieutenant/Adjutant Eugene W. Ferris (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on April 1, 1865, at Berryville, Virginia. His citation reads:

Accompanied only by an orderly, outside the lines of the Army, he gallantly resisted an attack of 5 of Mosby's cavalry, mortally wounded the leader of the party, seized his horse and pistols, wounded 3 more, and, though wounded himself, escaped.

I’m not 100% sure who said the below quote… I know I heard it from Coach Hatley close to 1,000 times and he said that Coach Port is the one who said it to him. So, I’m going to credit it to Coach Port until I hear otherwise.

The I’m just sayin… Quote of the Week

Excuses do not change mans love for the winner or scorn for the loser. - Coach Chal Port
