By the way mmarsh, I looked it up an Buchanan volunteered in the War of 1812 and participated in the defense of Baltimore. Good question.
I didnt know that, but I do know the answer to your question.

Andrew Jackson. He and his brother were captured by the British during the Revolution and sent to a POW camp. He was released due to smallpox which killed his brother.

I get this question a lot. I am from NYC. I fly a French flag because I work for the Paris Office of a International company.
