Errors

There are two errors. Decatur Dorsey was not a free slave. He was one of two runaway slaves that were recipents of the Medal of Honor. Secondly, he was born in Frederick Co. MD near a place called New Market. I'm a great-grand nephew. My Grandmother use to tell me stoies about him. I can be reache at ([email protected]).

decatur Dorsey was a true hero.

He was a good man and good soldier he fought for his people.He sacrificed his life for the people.He was akin hearted man and you should know that because he is a real true hero .You know how some movies say that villains and heroes aren't real and stuff like that well there real.villains are just the bad guys an the heroes are just the good guys like him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.109.67.2 (talk) 14:12, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
