Actually, look up Smedley D Butler, Lt Gen. USMC. Awarded the MOH TWICE. Not once, but twice.

Re: Most decorated soldier

Lieutenant General Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller (June 26, 1898 – October 11, 1971) was an officer in the United States Marine Corps. Puller is the most decorated U.S. Marine in history, and the only Marine to receive five Navy Crosses.

I grew up in the same town and went to church with Gen. Puller. I still remember the day Mrs. Puller ran over our basset hound and broke her leg. Mrs. Puller was very upset.
