Harriet Tubman military experience during the Civil War as a nurse and spy in the Union Army during is a bona fide part of her legacy. Tubman died in 1913 at age 93, and she received military honors at her funeral, bur her service as a war hero is not recognized as a female veteran. Therefore, with your help, we will submit a request to the Secretary of the Department of the Army to present a posthumous Medal of Honor to recognize her significant contributions to guaranteeing Union victory in the Civil War.  Harriet Tubman was a runaway slave from Maryland who became known as the "Moses of her people." During the Civil War In 1863, she went with Colonel James Montgomery and about 150 black soldiers on a gunboat raid in South Carolina Combahee. The raid was planned and executed primarily as a liberation raid. … That’s how Tubman conceived of it. That, too, is unique — because for the first and only time in the Civil War, or for that matter any American conflict before this century, a woman (and a civilian at that) played a decisive role in planning and carrying out a military operation." After the war, Tubman received no pension of her own for her time assisting Union forces. It's time to honor her!
