Intro
Hi H.e. quick. Thanks for the updates; however, I need some verification on the statements you made. I want to make sure this page is as verifiable as possible. I'm pretty new to Wikipedia, so any help appreciated. Just want to make sure whatever information is posted, is verifiable. While I await your further input, I will look up the policy on reverting to older version. See below for sections and comments:

Founding Date(s)
Every source I found (and listed in article) indicates that the VCA was founded in 1790. Please indicate the source I must find in regards to your founding date of 1892.

Ninth Regiment

 * According to the NY State Military Museum the 9th Regiment was not designated as such until June 13, 1812.

Eight Regiment

 * According to the NY State Military Museum the 8th Regiment was not designated as such until May 13, 1861.

258 Field Artillery
The most specific item I have found here is another Wiki article, but some research at dmna.state.ny.us should help. This article credits the 258 with being mustered in 1809 1st Battalion, 258th Field Artillery (United States)

National Defense Extract
I think your statement about this being "like so many of the claims made by the VCA" and "this one is completely false", may violate wiki policy. Please remove the first item as it may be inappropriate. The included statement does not state that "the act was intended to benefit the VCA", nor does it specifically state what if any rights were conferred upon them (VCA). I believe this should be reverted. I will enter the reference in the next version, but if there is another reference that disputes this, please let me know.

Founding date by Gardiner
Need a reference on the founding in 1892 by Gardiner. None of my sources indicate this. Definitely need help with this one.

Gardiner and the MOH
I have found several sources that specifically state he was awarded the Medal for bravey; however, you are right in that he was asked to return it, but this was due to insufficient information regarding the action. He did not honor the request and the incident was controversial. I found this in NY Times articles, which I will reference, and I will add the fact that he was asked to return it and the controversy behind it.
