Jacob Jennings Brown (1775-1828) was an American army officer in the War of 1812. In May, 1813, he defeated a British attempt to take Sackets Harbor, N.Y., and the next year became Commander of the Niagara frontier. Brown crossed the Niagara, took Fort Erie and drove the British back toward York (now Toronto). On July 25, 1814, he fought the Battle of Lundy's Lane, in which he was wounded. From 1821 to 1828 Brown served as General-in-Chief of the U.S. Army.
Stephen Decatur, Jr. (1779-1820), was an American naval officer notable for his heroism in actions at Tripoli, Libya, and in the War of 1812. In the War of 1812 Decatur commanded three vessels, with the frigate United States as his flagship.
Known for his reckless bravery and stubborn patriotism, he is also remembered for his famous toast: "Our country! In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong !"
