Earned the Medal of Honor during World War II For heroism on March 12 - May 07, 1942 at Philippine Islands, Pacific Ocean

At the repeated risk of life above and beyond the call of duty in his position as Commanding General of U.S. Armed Forces in the Philippines, General Wainwright frequented the firing line of his troops where his presence provided the example and incentive that helped make the gallant efforts of these men possible. The final stand on beleaguered Corregidor, for which he was in an important measure personally responsible, commanded the admiration of the Nation's allies. It reflected the high morale of American arms in the face of overwhelming odds. His courage and resolution were a vitally needed inspiration to the then sorely pressed freedom-loving peoples of the world.
