Which two Marines received the Medal of Honor?

The correct choice highlights the bravery of Dan Daly and Smedley Butler, both of whom are renowned for their extraordinary acts of valor during their military service, which led them to receive the Medal of Honor, the United States' highest military decoration.

Dan Daly earned his Medal of Honor twice for his courageous actions in the Boxer Rebellion in China and during World War I at the Battle of Belleau Wood. His leadership and decisive actions in the face of the enemy have made him a legendary figure in Marine Corps history.

Smedley Butler received the Medal of Honor for his distinguished service during the Boxer Rebellion and again in the Vera Cruz conflict. Butler's commitment to duty and his ability to inspire and lead troops under challenging conditions are well documented in military history.

While the other choices include notable figures in Marine Corps history, they do not pertain to recipients of the Medal of Honor. Understanding the accomplishments and the actions that led to the recognition of Daly and Butler provides important context about their contributions to the Corps and the legacy of bravery within the Marine community.
