[footnoteinhistory]

Born in Ireland, Sergeant Thomas Plunkett of Co. E, 21st Massachusetts Infantry Regiment was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1866 for his actions at the Battle of Fredericksburg. While acting as color bearer for his regiment, a blast from a cannon took off both of his arms and wounded his chest. Plunkett held onto the flag, pressing it to his chest with what was left of his arms, until another soldier relieved him. His recovery took over two years, and Battery Plunkett at Fort Warren in Boston Harbor is named in his honor. (x)

Thomas Plunkett (1841 - March 10, 1885) was a color bearer during the American Civil War. He carried the banner of the 21st Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry at the Battle of Fredericksburg when a cannon blast took away both of his arms and wounded him in the chest. He pressed the flag against his chest with what remained of his arms and continued until one of the color guard took the flag from him so he could retire. Both of his arms were eventually amputated, and it would take another two years for him to recover.
