Category:MacArthur family

The MacArthur family was for over one hundred years active in the affairs of the United States. Among them, there were two Army Generals, two awarded the Medal of Honor (the first father-son pair thus honored), four awards of the nation's second highest combat decoration (one of the Navy Cross for Arthur B. MacArthur, Jr., and three of the DSC for Douglas), seven awards of the Distinguished Service Medal (one each of the Navy DSM to brothers Arthur H. MacArthur, III and Douglas H. MacArthur, I as well as five Army DSMs to Douglas), a Lieutenant Governor & Governor of Wisconsin (Arthur M. MacArthur, Sr.), Judge of the US District Court of D.C. (also Arthur M. MacArthur, Sr.) and career Foreign Service Officer and Ambassador (Douglas M. MacArthur, II).

Note: The MacArthur given name convention is slightly confusing. The patriarch was Arthur M. MacArthur, Sr., whose son was Arthur B. MacArthur, Jr., who had three sons: Arthur H. MacArthur, III, Malcolm H. MacArthur (died in his youth), and Douglas H. Arthur, I. Arthur H. MacArthur, III's son is Douglas M. MacArthur, II, and Douglas H. MacArthur, I' son is Arthur F. MacArthur, IV.
