Question: A midwesterner, I enlisted at the start of the Mexican War and was commissioned a Lieutenant. After the war, I graduated from the University of Louisville and practiced law. I entered politics with some success, then fought in the Civil War. After the war I returned to politics, again with some success. I may be best remembered as head of the organization that established May 30 as Memorial Day. Who Am I?
