known for his failure in the Indian Wars, 2nd Lieutenant Thomas Custer

No. Winning medals for valor is a dangerous business though, and people get killed doing it. Audie Murphy is usually recognized as America's "most decorated" WWII soldier, and he received 33 American and foreign medals. Some say Major Matt Urban won more than Murphy, but Urban never received the Distinguished Service Cross (second in precedence only to the Medal of Honor), and Urban's Medal of Honor came a long time after the war.

The Congressional Gold Medal is bestowed by the US Congress on an individual who performs an outstanding deed or act of service to the security, prosperity, and national interest of the United States. Congressional Gold Medals can be given to people who are not US citizens. A Medal of Honor is a military award, given to a member of the armed forces who has shown extreme bravery in action.
