Two? I think you’re mistaken about that.
Chapman fought like a lion and richly deserved multiple MOHs, but I’m pretty sure he’s received only one.
maybe I misinterpreted the narrator. Maybe another soldier was also awarded. Chapman though performed two main heroic acts. First subduing Bunker #1, and then later, when mortally wounded, attacking the remaining terrorists and never retreating.
