105 years apart: 2 men with Chattanooga ties earned the National Medal of Honor on the same day

June 18th is a significant date in two Medal of Honor stories we've told you in the past on our podcast.
The 18th of June is an important date in the story of very first recipients of the Medal of Honor, Andrews' Raiders during the Civil War, and the last person to be awarded the Medal of Honor, the late Vietnam War Veteran, Captain Larry Taylor.
And both stories have major ties to Chattanooga Tennessee.
In this episode, we discuss what happened on June 18, 1863 and June 18, 1968.
Tomorrow Town, Tennessee is a production of NewsChannel 9, Fox Chattanooga, and Sinclair Broadcast Group Chattanooga.
