File talk:Military order of Saint Louis-Knight cross IMG 3512.JPG

A recipients list would be be nice. Less beneficial would also be, a rejected recipients list. My ancestor, French marine aide Maj. Pierre Gabriel de Juzan of Mobile, Alabama, was killed in combat against Chickasaws in the 1730's First Battle of Ackia, Tupelo, Mississippi Military District (U.S. National Park there today). His kinsmen, Canadian marines Maj. Charles Pierre de Liette, and Capt. Antoine de Tonty, were killed at the Second Battle of Ackia. After their deaths, all three were supposedly considered for the Order of Saint Louis, but all three were rejected. None-the-less, I am under the impression that a few French combatants in America, did earn the Order? Listing them separately, or with distinguishing (American service) mark on a comprehensive list would be helpful. Also it would be nice if Wikipedia had an entry by nations (USA, France, Canada, England, USSR/Russia, etc.) as to how one applies for government tombstones and/or memorial stones for the respective nation's armed forces veterans that died in combat on domestic or foreign fields. In the case of the U.S., I did the paperwork for Capt. Charles Dearborn Copp's, Medal of Honor tombstone (and payed for optional obverse inscription that he earned it at Marye's Heights, at the Civil War, Battle of Fredericksburg. The medal just arrived one day in the 1880's U.S. mail. He already had a good civil stone; and duplicate stones are not normally issued but; it did not mention the Medal of Honor; thus this exception. I also did the paperwork for kinsman, Maj. David Moniac, Alabama Mounted Creek Volunteers (dragoons?) in U.S. service, Second Seminole War, at Bushnell National Cemetery, Florida, near where he was KIA at the Battle of Wahoo Swamp, over 50 bullets in his remains. He was West Point' first Native American graduate (see West Point and Bushnell Cemetery websites). On the onverse, I quoted Gen. Jesup (hated Indians), that David was "As brave as any man who has drawn a sword, and faced the enemy". The government did not make me pay for that. Allegedly, David's remains are beneath two pyramids at the St. Augustine National Cemetery, Florida; but David is not mentioned by name there. Little St. Augustine's is a "closed" cemetery, but I showed where adjoining the pyramids was a row of stones with a little bush in the row that could be removed for David's memorial stone (or VIP general's wife?). I wrote the French army attache in Washington if Maj. de Juzan (French), Maj. de Liette (Canadian or French), and Capt. de Tonty (Canadian or French), qualified for memorial stones, at the National Park Ackia Battlefield, if permitted; or alternatively, at a nearby old Catholic church. From France's attache: silence! ∞ focusoninfinity 22:34, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
