Re: Ex-Confederate captures Confederate flag

Dick,

This is not correct.

The MOH was called just that until, I think, the early 20th Century when it was renamed the Congressional Medal of Honor - and that might have been after the late 1800's rescinding of a number of the medals issued for Civil War valor and flag captures (mostly the latter - medals were issed for someone finding a flag on the ground!).

There is a website dedicated to the CMOH that should have this history on it.
