Hi! I'm looking for a John Eglit that received the Congressional Medal of Honor during the Spanish-American war in 1898.
Here is some information about him: http://www.homeofheroes.com/moh/citations_1898_spa/eglit.html
The name is Lettish but John himslef being from Finland.
John at one point claimed his mother Eva living in Riga as next of kin. He also had brother by the name Charles or Karl and a sister by the name Marie Hazlet that lived in the USA.
