RT @18airbornecorps: 158 years ago tonight (July 18, 1863), Sgt William Carney refused to let the US flag (symbol of Union Army) fall, despite being wounded 5 times during the 54th's charge against Fort Wagner. Born into slavery in Norfolk, Va in 1840, Carney was the first black American to earn MoH https://t.co/hpaKnR3CzR
