About one or two years ago I noticed that several names of Union Navy personnel who received the Medal of Honor were missing from the list as shown at the Naval Historical Center's web site, and I took the trouble to advise them of this omission. They advised that they would correct the listing, but, as of this date, it still has not been done.
I wish to advise that the names missing from this list are Michael Aheam, paymaster's steward, USS KEARSARGE; Robert Anderson, quartermaster, USS KEOKUK; John Angling, cabin boy, USS PONTOOSUC; Matthew Arther, signal quartermaster, USS CARONDELET and Charles Asten, quarter gunner, USS SIGNAL.
Hopefully the NHC will amend their list within my lifetime.
