Thanks for sharing the video about General of The Army Douglas MacArthur Medal of Honor recipient and veteran of the pre-WWII Philippine Campaign, WWII and the Korea War where he lobbied hard to take the war to China across the Yalu River but former POTUS Truman refused to and sacked Douglas MacArthur as a response on 11 April 1951.
He is the only 5-star officer who was ever awarded the Medal of Honor. In his case this occurred based on his display of uncommon valor during the Philippines Campaign earlier in the 20th century.

Thanks for sharing! Ever been to his final resting place in Norfolk? It's kinda neat that the USS Wisconsin ( the General's home state) is also located right there in Norfolk too!
