    This is probably en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Foulois
    'Benjamin Delahauf Foulois (December 9, 1879 – April 25, 1967) was a United States Army general who learned to fly the first military planes purchased from the Wright brothers. He became the first military aviator as an airship pilot, and achieved numerous other military aviation "firsts". He led strategic development of the Air Force in the United States.'

    His wikipedia entry indicates that he was commissioned as a second lieutenant on July 9, 1901 and a first lieutenant on April 30, 1908.

[Corporal Joseph Pierce of Co. F, 14th Connecticut Infantry Regiment in uniform] (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Hanna (LOC P&P) said:
    Corporal Joseph Pierce served the Union Army during some of the most significant battles of the Civil War, including the Battle of Antietam and the Battle of Gettysburg. Pierce was promoted to Corporal following the Battle of Gettysburg, making him one of the highest ranked Chinese American soldiers in the Union Army. Pierce injured his back badly after falling over a fence during the Battle of Antietam and was hospitalized for over a month. Pierce’s injury plagued him for the rest of his life, resulting in muscle weakness and constant pain. Despite his disability, Pierce’s pension was not high enough to support his family and he worked until his death in 1916. Today, Pierce’s portrait hangs in the Gettysburg Museum, a tribute to the Asian and Pacific Islander soldiers who served during the Civil War.
