Henry Hogan

Henry Hogan was a First Sergeant in the United States Army who served during the Indian Wars, most notably during the Black Hills War. He is distinguished as one of only nineteen servicemen in United States history to be awarded the Medal of Honor twice.

Hogan received his first Medal of Honor for gallantry in action on January 8, 1877, at Bear Paw Mountain, Montana, while serving with Company G of the 5th U.S. Infantry. His exceptional courage during the engagements against Lakota and Northern Cheyenne forces cemented his reputation as a formidable frontier soldier.

His second Medal of Honor was awarded for his actions on September 30, 1877, at the Battle of Bear Paw, where he carried a severely wounded officer, Lieutenant Romeyn, off the battlefield under heavy fire. Hogan's dual decorations place him in an elite class of American military heroes.
