These caches are not about being difficult, but in remembering the true heros of this great country of ours. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
A little fact about the Medal of Honor.
The correct title for the award often called the "Congressional Medal of Honor" is simply "MEDAL OF HONOR" and the men who have received it prefer to be called "RECIPIENTS" (of the award), not "winners". It is the only United States Military Award that is worn from a ribbon hung around the neck, and the only award presented "By the President In the Name of the Congress".
The 9th honoree is Douglas MacArthur. Awarded for actions during WWII.
Rank: General
Organization: U.S. Army
Born: Little Rock, Ark.
Entered Service At: Ashland, Wis.
G.O. Number: 16
Date of Issue: 04/01/1942
Accredited To: Place / Date: Bataan Peninsula, Philippine Islands
For conspicuous leadership in preparing the Philippine Islands to resist conquest, for gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action against invading Japanese forces, and for the heroic conduct of defensive and offensive operations on the Bataan Peninsula. He mobilized, trained, and led an army which has received world acclaim for its gallant defense against a tremendous superiority of enemy forces in men and arms. His utter disregard of personal danger under heavy fire and aerial bombardment, his calm judgment in each crisis, inspired his troops, galvanized the spirit of resistance of the Filipino people, and confirmed the faith of the American people in their Armed Forces.
