19 Medals of Honor winners were awarded the medal 2 times. 5 however were to U.S. Marines in WWI for the same action by the Army and Navy. After 1917 only 1 Medal of Honor per lifetime could be awarded. The other 14 were awarded for separate actions in the Civil War, Indian War, etc. The last double Medal or Honor winner was Smedley Darlington Butler. One in Mexico for actions on April 22, 1914 and the second in Haiti for actions on November 17, 1915.

As a side note, Vietnam War Special Forces hero Robert L. Howard was submitted for the Medal of Honor three different times before he was finally awarded the Medal.
