Talk:Jacob Brown (general)

Medal of Honor
The Medal of Honor (MoH) was first authorized during the Civil War. As such, Jacob Brown, who fought during the War of 1812, was never awarded it. If you go to the WP MoH page, scroll down to the bottom, access the link to the MoH Society and do a search, you won't find Jacob Brown. As such I deleted that award from the lead. But he was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal in 1814. And I added text to indicate that. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 01:02, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
