I am concerned about "Flags" because the ads say that it saw more Medals of Honor (24) awarded "than any other battle in history". This is demonstrably untrue (58 were awarded for Gettysburg and some Civil War battles saw even more awarded*), although it would have been correct to say that it saw more MOHs than any other battle in WWII or in the 20th century.
*I am aware that this is a little like comparing apples and oranges given that the only medal for heroism in the Civil War was the MOH-but it does show a certain sloppiness with the facts that I see all too often from Hollywood.
Good catch. I have to admit I'd never thought about the Civil War comparison...I was only thinking WWII when reading text.
Maybe the claim on MOHs should be for "more MOHs that day in combat with FOREIGN enemies than any other"......
