Good Golly! There are *41* Medals awarded for actions on this day - and not one of them is a posthumous award!
1 July is a very busy day for the Medal in the 19th Century. During this time the Medal of Honor was the only available option, so many of the Medals awarded during the 1863-1900 era would be Bronze Stars, Silver Stars, and Distinguished Service Cross/Navy Cross today.
As usual - we start with the Civil War and the two big battles occurring on July 1st - Malvern HIll and Gettysburg.
