Local Hero, National Bravery: The Story of Hiram W. Purcell and the Medal of Honor Growing up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Civil War history wasn't just in textbooks; it was woven into the fabric of our community. Monuments dotted the landscape, silent testaments to the sacrifices made generations before. One name that resonated with me was Hiram W. Purcell, a local boy who earned the highest military honor – the Medal of Honor. Hiram, born in 1837 in Upper Black Eddy, wasn't just a name on a plaque. He was a young man, not much older than I was when I first learned about him, who volunteered with the 104th Pennsylvania Infantry during the Civil War. In 1862, at the Battle of Fair Oaks, Virginia, Hiram found himself in the midst of a fierce battle. As his regiment retreated, entrusted with carrying the colors, he displayed courage that transcended the chaos. Facing the advancing enemy, a decision had to be made in a split second. Hiram, instead of continuing the retreat, turned back into the fray. His singular focus – to save the other regimental flag from capture. This act of selfless bravery, under heavy fire, stands as a testament to his unwavering dedication to duty and his comrades. Hiram's heroism wasn't recognized immediately. It wasn't until 1894, over 30 years later, that he received the Medal of Honor. Though delayed, the recognition solidified his place among the nation's bravest. Hiram W. Purcell's story is a reminder that heroism can emerge from the most ordinary people. It's a call to courage that echoes through the ages, inspiring us to stand tall in the face of adversity. #HiramWPurcell #MedalofHonor #CivilWarHero #BucksCounty #LocalHistory #AmericanValor

Something to think about

As we approach Memorial Day weekend, a time of reflection and gratitude for the sacrifices of our service members, I wanted to highlight an important lesson from USMC Major General Oliver Smith. In the heat of the Chosin Reservoir battle, General Smith famously declared, 'Retreat hell! We are attacking in another direction.' This perspective exemplifies not just military acumen but a powerful mindset and strategic resilience as well. When faced with unexpected challenges, having the courage and adaptability to pivot cannot be overstated. Embracing a nimble, growth mindset allows us to see beyond immediate setbacks. Like General Smith, we’re not backing down; we’re boldly charting a new path in a direction that was not part of the original plan. This approach keeps us agile, prepared, and always moving forward, turning potential defeats into strategic opportunities for advancement. This Memorial Day, please take some time to reflect on the lessons of being adaptable, resilient, and forward-thinking that we can learn from those who served and sacrificed. #memorialday #honorthefallen #nimble #growthmindset #veteran #reflection #resilience #grit

QSOURCE Q4.1 SUA SPONTE LEADER Make clear the Mission Sua Sponte is Latin for “of his own accord”. In the law, a judge acts sua sponte when he exercises his inherent authority to make a ruling without a petition from a lawyer do so. He takes the initiative to act on his own accord. Sua Sponte is also the motto of the United States Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment. It is a recognition that to become a Ranger a man must be a triple volunteer: first the Army, then Airborne School and finally the Ranger Regiment. Rangers aren’t drafted, they must make the choice for themselves–three times. The Rangers are elite because every man there is taught to be a Leader and every Leader is expected to take the initiative to do what is necessary to accomplish the unit’s mission.
