2 Union soldiers receive posthumous Medal of Honor for daring Civil War train theft
Union soldiers Philip Shadrach and George Wilson were posthumously honored Wednesday by President Biden with the Medal of Honor for their courage in the "Great Locomotive Chase," in which they went deep behind Confederate lines and stole a train in Marietta, Georgia. They ran the train north, tearing up tracks and cutting telegraph wires as they went. David Martin has more.
