I wonder if the order makes an exception for the Medal of Honor, or if there is one of those unwritten rules for it? I do believe that there wouldn't be a soul who would question it though.
I had a CWO3 in my enlisted days who was adamant that the order stated that a gold star MAY be worn in lieu of subsequent awards, but did not require it. I think all the SgMajs, living and dead, went into seizures every time my OIC wore medals.

I think the Army uniform regs state that it's an oak leaf cluster for subsequent awards of the MoH. Not sure about the Navy/MC.
I think it's safe to say, though, that if you have two MoHs, you can wear whatever the fuck you want.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear your bitching about my uniform over the sound of my giant balls clanging together and how awesome I am."
This also applies to anyone with one MoH.
Never going to happen again. Doesn't really matter.
Not saying you're wrong, but one thing I have learned is "never say never".
What? Oh that? That's just the Navy Cross I use to haul around all my Medals of Honor.
Just before history rolls over it...bottom left ribbon is the Haitian Campaign Medal. Two early 20th century periods of eligibility during "The Banana Wars". I was in a position on the USACOM Staff during the planning and execution for the third Haitian Vacation in 1994. Tried to get a "third eligibility period" established so we could resurrect/re-issue this old medal, just because I thought the history was appropriate. Got turned into eligibility for something else...AFEM as I recall. May have been something else.

Little nuggets of history like this are why I love this site.
I bet he was rolling over in his grave knowing he missed WWII. What an incredible career!
Well, he could certainly be proud of helping to forge the Marine Corps that went to the Pacific...lot of his DNA in that (and today's) organization.
Very true. His legacy was not lost on those fine Americans.
The Medal of Honor Society also says it cannot be awarded twice in their history of the medal (as of 9 July 1918).
