What's a (and I quote) "menorable" moment?
The only thing I could come up with would be Hanukkah.

Kearny was an cool dude. He inherited over a million dollars as a 21-year old in 1836, fought and lost an arm in the Mexican-American war in 1847, and was a brave if fool-hardy fighter in the Civil War dying near what is now the intersection of Monument Drive and Monument Court in Fairfax.

That he was, brave, and foolhardy to a fault. He was a natural combat leader. But, that said there's a reason generals use scouts to discern an enemies intent or location. General Kearney rode off into a storm and unintentionally into Confederate lines in a quest for intel during an active battle and got blown off his horse. He was a badass for sure, surrender isn't an option often times and he refused to do so when called out to do so by Confederate troops, though he must have known how fucked he was. Surely one hell of a soldier in Mexico too, brave to a fault to the end. Not bad for a blue belly Yank. Y'all could have used a lot more like him I suppose. But we'd have sent them some .58 too!
