Ok, let me clear up the train issue since everyone's Google is broken. Yesterday, the train ride with the Medal of Honor Recipients was a partnership and collaboration of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, CSX, Coolidge National Medal of Honor Heritage Center, Atlanta History Center and the City of Ringgold. It was the official kick-off of the 2025 Medal of Honor Celebration in Chattanooga this week. Chattanooga is home of the Coolidge National Medal of Honor Heritage Center. There are many activities held in Chattanooga recognizing these recipients culminating in the 2025 Patriot Awards Gala on Saturday. Since the Locomotive Chase was the initial awarding of the Medal of Honor, it was a fitting start to this week of activities. It was more about the passengers than it was about the train. Also, it was an educational moment for the recipients to visit the state and understand the history of the Medal of Honor. https://www.mohhc.org
