John William Heard (March 27, 1860 – February 4, 1922) was a United States Army Brigadier General who was a recipient of the Medal of Honor for valor in action on July 23, 1898 near Bahia Honda, Cuba. ==Early life and Spanish American War== John William Heard was born on Woodstock Plantation, near Senatobia, Mississippi. He was appointed to West Point, graduating with the class of 1883.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Military Times Hall of Valor )〕 Heard deployed to Cuba as part of the 3rd US Cavalry. He departed Florida with his unit and 40-50 Cuban soldiers, landing near the mouth of the Mani-Mani River near Bahia Hondo, west of Havana. A force of nearly 1,000 Spanish Cavalry charged Heard's vastly outnumbered force as they were unloading supplies on the beach. Heard's command of his men halted the Spanish force's charge and caused them to fall back. Heard successfully regrouped his men and had them reboard their ship, evacuating all of his soldiers and wounded, leaving no one behind.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=HomeofHeroes.com )〕 Lieutenant Heard was awarded his Medal of Honor on June 21, 1899.〔
