Patrick Henry O'Rorke was the Union Army’s most decorated soldier of the Civil War.
He died July 2, 1863 at the Battle of Gettysburg from a gunshot wound to the neck.

He was originally buried at Pinnacle Hill Cemetery. Once it was closed he was moved to Holy Sepulcher Cemetery in Rochester New York.

Cool Sagus, you got another one. Thomas Custer was awarded two Medals of Honor during the civil war, both while he was acting as a color bearer.
