Hey Jim,

Remember reading about the MOH in the civil war. Think that was when it was created. Many of the men who earned it in that war really didn't do a whole lot out of the ordinary and received the medal. Think some were even revoked. They made the award rules a lot stricter after that.

Some scouts earned the medal during the Indian Wars after 1865. The stuff those guys did will make you're skin crawl. Well deserved.

Thanks for the post,

Robert/LB
