Congressman Mark Amodei will issue a replacement Medal of Honor to Private Robert Smith’s grandson, Jerry Reynolds next Monday. Smith was awarded the Medal of Honor for bravery displayed while serving in action at Slim Buttes, Dakota Territory on Sept. 9, 1876 – but never knew of the award before passing away on Jan. 5, 1930. 82 year old Jerry Reynolds as Smith’s closest surviving relative, will be accepting the replacement on behalf of their family.
