Nearly 160 years later, Morgan s legacy lives within 1st Battalion, 623rd Field Artillery Regiment of the Kentucky National Guard, which traces its lineage through a cavalry unit he commanded. Its members are officially nicknamed Morgan s Men. On the radio, the commander is known by the call sign Morgan 6.
