Stupid writer...they did not "win" it, they earned it. You never refer to MOH recipients as "winners".

Speaking of the MOH, the story of the first recipients in the Army is told in the April edition of Trains Magazine. The story of the Andrews Raiders and The Great Locomotive Chase is good reading.

I couldn't read the story on the website, but read the wikipedia version. Very interesting. From the reading, it was a member of that raid, Jacob Parrot, who was awarded the very first Medal Of Honor. Also interesting, Andrews himself wasn't eligible for the MOH, because he was a civilian. Yet, he was still hanged by the Confederates.
