He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his performance in the Philippine campaign, and his father Arthur MacArthur was the first father and son to receive the Medal of Honor at the same time. MacArthur is the general who won the most medals in the US army, navy and air force, and the only American general who participated in World War I, World War II and Korean War. MacArthur is called "a generation of veterans" by American nationals. MacArthur is the youngest brigadier general in the United States, the youngest president of West Point Military Academy, and the youngest army chief of staff in the history of the United States Army. His three "youngest" experiences can be called wizards in the history of American war.
