Re: Ex-Confederate captures Confederate flag

Interesting story. It strikes me that I heard of two types of Medals of Honor. One was the MOH, given for capturing flags and the other is the Congressional Medal of Honor for extreme bravery above and beyond the call of duty (ie Sergeant York, Audie Muphy etc.) Boston Custer was said to get two Medals of Honor for picking up a couple of flags at the end of the war. Is my memory correct?
