Prez. Shot at Major military Action
Lincoln No? Yes
Actually, Lincoln was a Mexican War veteran, and I can assure you that
John Wilkes Booth did shoot at him.
Boy! Do you have history scrambled. During the Mexican War Abraham Lincoln
was a member of the House of Representatives and made a rather famous speech
questioning the legality of that war. He did serve in the Blackhawk War as
a member of the Illinois Militia.
