More often than not the action that leads one to receive the Medal of Honor also results in the death of the individual involved.  In this section we offer a visual analysis of Georgia's identified Medal of Honor recipients in a number of ways to help understand and appreciate the sacrifice of the recipients.

 

The color coding used in this chart is as follows:

The individual lost his life during the action that resulted in receiving the Medal of Honor

The individual survived the action that resulted in receiving the Medal of Honor, but is no longer living

The individual is still living
