You are thinking of Thomas Custer, George A. Custer's brother. Actually nineteen persons have won the Medal of Honor twice! There have been numerous two time recipients of the Medal of Honor. According to the Center of Military History, nineteen (19) men received a second award: fourteen of these men received two separate Medals for two separate actions; five received both the Navy and the Army Medals of Honor for the same action.

∙ 16y agoI don't think that he existed. Most of the information I've seen shows that
19 people were the recipents two Congressional Medals of Honor. The
first was the brother of General George Armstrong Custer, who is best
known for his failure in the Indian Wars, 2nd Lieutenant Thomas Custer
won both in the Civil War. Six double recipeints were Navy, seven were
Marines and four were Army.
