Hi, everyone -- pinning this to the top because I'm trying to figure out how to generate notifications for all of you so you can see my goof. I apologize.....I worded that first question pretty badly. I didn't mean to send everyone down this long path of presidential names. LOL. I've updated the question, above. My bad.

I guess I could add Harry Truman. He was a captain in the Army field artillary, I believe.

I wondered if you meant while president. That would be Washington…. Was it Daniel Shay’s or the Whiskey Rebellion?

OK, a rare event for you.

... I absolutely treasure your historical posts. It's so good to have a daily reminder of who we Americans are. ... As John Updike wrote in a poem (words to that effect): "Don't read your clippings, America. You're the only country."

Tara, since there seems to be a wide array of answers for the initial interpretation of your first question--if you know the answer to both interpretations--I’d love to see them both tomorrow (if it’s not something you already have on hand, maybe you could just use that question some time in the future).
