At the time of the Civil War/War Between The States

The War of Northern Aggression.   

Strange......as I was taught in history class.....some Southerners started taking pot shots at a federal fort.........who was the aggressor? 

You mean, some soldiers of a state that had left the Union were trying to evict occupiers of a foreign power.

I would love to see the shadow box of a guy who flunked out of Basic after 2 weeks and got an ELS.

And yes, I believe posing would be the main reason. Or stack stacking.

Can I get a Civil War Victory Medal on there?

Was you on the winning side? 

In all seriousness, I had a lot of family fight on both sides, but the majority were Confederates.

Southern Cross of Honor

^I think that would fall more along the lines of an organisational decoration.

According to Wiki, designed in 1898 and first presented at a reunion in 1900.

I am thinking it is similar to the "cold war" medals I see in some Veteran's shadow boxes.

Saw this article posted on Yahoo! and it reminded me of this conversation:

From the article; The Congressional Medal of Honor Society, representing U.S. medal winners, brushed off questions about Confederate medals.

"We don't really know about this program," said Carol Cepregi, deputy director of operations. "They're certainly free to do whatever their little hearts desire, as long as they're calling it the Confederate Medal of Honor and not our Medal of Honor."

I concur.

As do I, with the concept. But the "...whatever their little hearts desire..." was snotty and unnecessary.

That snotty comment was her way of showing contempt for them. She could not say in a public forum she felt it was not a good idea, so she hid her feelings maybe not too well.

I find that type of concentration interesting, considering that there's no such thing as a Congressional Medal of Honor.

That comment was rather daft.

No where in the article was the medal referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor.  The society's name is Congressional Medal of Honor Society as dictated by the US Congress under 36 U.S.C., Chapter 33, which was signed into law by President Eisenhower on 05 August 1958.  So really kind of a mutt moot point.

And a fun fact, despite the movie Courage Under Fire claim that no woman has received the MOH, there has been 1 woman to receive the MOH.  This was at Bull Run in 1861.  Also, prior to 1863, only enlisted were allowed to receive the MOH.  Finally, the USAF did not adopt a MOH design until 1963.

So really kind of a mutt point.

I hate autocorrect.  Nice find on the picture.
