TheMedal of Honorwas created during theAmerican Civil Warand is the highest military

decoration presented by theUnited Statesgovernment to a member of its armed forces. The

recipient must have distinguished themselves at the risk of their own life above and beyond the

call of duty in action against an enemy of the United States. Due to the nature of this medal, it iscommonly presentedposthumously.[1]

Forty-four men of Hispanic heritage have been awarded

the Medal of Honor. Of the forty-four Medals of Honor

presented to Hispanics, two were presented to members of

theUnited States Navy, thirteen to members of theUnited

States Marine Corpsand twenty-nine to members of the

United States Army. Twenty-five Medals of Honor werepresented posthumously.[2]

recipient is Sergeant First Class Leroy Petry for his actions in Afghanistan. Corporal De Castro

was a member of the Massachusetts Infantry, a militia that was not part of the "regular" army;

however, Private David Bennes Barkley was a member of the regular army during World War Iand has been recognized as the Army's first Hispanic Medal of Honor recipient.[3]In 1864,

Seaman John Ortega became the first Hispanic member of the U.S. Navy to receive the Medal of

Honor and in 1900, Private France Silva became the first person of Hispanic descent in the U.S.Marine Corps to receive the medal.[4]

Ten recipients were born outside the United States mainland, one each inChileandSpain, fourinMexicoand four inPuerto Rico. Seaman Philip Bazaar from Chile received the medal in

January 1865 and Seaman John Ortega from Spain in December 1865. The first native Mexican

recipient was Staff Sergeant Marcario Garcia and the first Puerto Rican was PFC Fernando LuisGarcia.[5]1st Lt. Rudolph B. Davila, of Hispanic-Filipino descent, was the only person of

Filipino ancestry to receive the medal for his actions in the war in Europe during World War II .[6]

Private Joe P. Martinez was the first Hispanic-American recipient to be awarded the Medal of

Honor posthumously for combat heroism on American soil during the same conflict .[7]
