USMC Cpl John Henry Pruitt: The Double Medal of Honor Recipient & WWI Hero #usa #history #podcast

What good is any of it. Wars still rage continuously on Earth.

Wow

SEMPER FI, brother.

I have never heard of Cpl.Pruitt or any Marine decorated by the Army as well as the Marines for the same deed.

I am from Arkansas and lived in Fayetteville and as far as I know their is no local commemorative statues of markers (?) .

Because I was in Marines and from Arkansas and never heard of Cpl Pruitt, I looked his up gravestone in Arlington ,mysteriously there were two different pictures both mentions his two medal of honor but one has the word Arizona not Arkansas under his name in large letters. His cemetery location at Arlington is "Headstone of U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. John Pruitt, Medal of Honor recipient, in Section 18 of Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia" maybe a sign signifying nothing

May God bless him in Heaven, and his whole family!

Semper Fidelis Marine.

In USMC boot camp, we were told that the only two twice-awarded MoH winners were Dan Daly and Smedley Butler. Say, fellas, what gives?

A true badass hero. 🙏 thank you.

Semper fi, Marine!🥇🥇🥇🇺🇸

SEMPER FIDELIS STRENGTH AND HONOR! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, STAND DOWN SGT PRUITT YOU ARE RELIEVED!

Do a story on White Feather, Carlos Hathcock, of N. Little Rock Arkansas...He was a scout/sniper in Vietnam.

Rest well Warrior . Soldiers like you Corporal John Pruitt are a fine example of why the US Marine Corp is respected worldwide . Our country loves them , our enemies fear them .

My 5th cousin. May he rest in eternal peace. But, I have to correct something. He was born on 01 Oct 1896 and died on 04 Oct 1918. He had turned 22, 3 days before he died.

God bless him. Yeah, don’t show this to a “liberal” cupcake; they’ll foam at the mouth

Semper Fidelis.
God Bless.

Just discovered your channel. I like vids like this, so I sub'd....

Never was told or read about this Marine!!! Salute!

Wow, what else can you say to this kind of courage?

I want to Thank you so very much for your amazingly Courageous Service Sir !!!!!!
Rest in Peace !!!!!!!!

Devil Dogs!! Ooh Rah!!

Tears for all

🖕 This propaganda.

"He was posthumously awarded both the Army and the Navy Medal of Honor"
The Army and the Navy independently from each other recommended him for the medal for the same action so he was awarded twice. President Coolidge several years later prohibited duplicate MoH for the same action.

We have some amazing fighters amazing Warfighters nothing like American spirit thank you for your gallantry.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏

I believe his father was cmsgt John Pruitt who served in ww2 and retired in late 1968 from 337 airforce portland, ore

Never heard of someone being awarded the MoH twice for the same deed. Seems a little strange. The Army and the Marines must have submitted separate requests.

God Bless John Henry Pruitt!
Free because of the Brave. Never forget.

We’re all aware of The MOH, but there’s an Army MOH, and also a Navy MOH?! 😳🤷🏻‍♂️

Semper Fi bro

My Grandfather was in WWI but would not talk about his experiences. All i ever knew from my dad was that my grandpa went "over the top" into no-man's-land 7 times. We had a photograph of him in his uniform and we had his helmet. And we all were lucky enough to have him. He was a friendly and kind hardworking man and I'm sorry for those memories he carried with him. But I'm very proud of him. 🇺🇲❤️

Cpl. John Henry Pruitt, May he rest in peace and be risen to be with God.

That young man looks like a bad ass just through his photo….wow

No beta male, democrat right there. Turning America great unlike the rainbow soldiers who cant even build a port with $320M.

Thanks for your service and faithfulness to God and 🙏 prayers for your family. I honour your service as I honour God s Will. Chrissy Comey, Exupery

People get confused by this. He was awarded two medals for the same action, because he was a Marine attached to the Army. The Army and Navy medals are visibly different types. This was done with a few other Marines but it was discontinued shortly thereafter. Many people think that these recipients were awarded the MoH twice (i.e., two different actions), which is not the case.

“NON SIBI SED PATRAIE,” John. R.I.P.

We were taught about him in boot camp at Parris Island back in 1964.

Leathernecks magazine did a story on him

Semper Fi brother!!

His headstone at Arlington National Cemetery shows the design of both MoH.

An outstanding Marine! Tears to my eyes Semper Fi John
