What is recorded here
John Coleman is a birthplace in County Cork, Ireland. Perhaps the boy who left that soil for naval battle was forged in the same quiet darkness as every other child born there. Maybe the medal of honor is just a shiny ribbon tied around an ordinary life that refused to be forgotten.
Why this person is known: United States Navy Medal of Honor recipient, born 1847 (1847–1897)
