• Notes

  One of the most controversial military figures in American history, he was the son of a Civil War hero, Lt. General Arthur MacArthur, and Mary Pinkney Hardy. MacArthur's father, as a lieutenant in the 24th Wisconsin Infantry, earned the Congressional Medal of Honor at Missionary Ridge, Tennessee for his valor in battle during the Civil War. Douglas MacArthur first saw action in the Vera Cruz campaign in Mexico. In World War I he was awarded numerous commendations for valor for actions on the lines and became a division commander. After the war he returned to West Point to serve as the Superintendent of the United States Military Academy. Later, MacArthur served and commanded in the Pacific Theater during World War II where he earned the Congressional Medal of Honor. He was Commander of U.S. Occupation Forces, Japan, and United Nations Commander-in-Chief in Korea. The two MacArthur men are America's only father-and-son Medal of Honor recipients.
