Christian Fleetwood, Medal of Honer Recipient

Christian Abraham Fleetwood (July 21, 1840 - September 28, 1914), was an African-American non-commissioned officer in the US Army. Due to his educated background, he was given the rank of Sergeant upon enlistment and promoted to Sergeant Major days later. His regiment saw service on September 29, 1864 in the Battle of Chaffin's Farm. Among the charging soldiers was Sergeant Hilton, the bearer of two flags. When Hilton himself was wounded, Fleetwood and another soldier, Charles Veale, each grabbed a flag from him before the colors could touch the ground. For their actions during the battle, Fleetwood, Hilton, and Veale were each issued the Medal of Honor. No photographer credited, 1900.
