List of Medal of Honor recipients ( Veracruz ) The United States occupation of the Mexican port of Veracruz lasted for six months in 1914 and occurred in the midst of poor diplomatic relations between Mexico and the United States , related to the ongoing Mexican Revolution . In response to the Tampico Affair , President Woodrow Wilson ordered the U . S . Navy to prepare for the occupation of the port of Veracruz . While waiting for authorization of Congress to carry out such action , Wilson was alerted to a German delivery of weapons for Victoriano Huerta due to arrive to the port on April 21 . As a result , Wilson issued an immediate order to seize the port ' s customs office and confiscate the weaponry . The Medal of Honor was created during the American Civil War and is the highest military decoration presented by the United States government 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 .

Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels ordered that 56 Medals of Honor be awarded to participants in the occupation of Veracruz , the most for any single action before or since . In total 63 Medals of Honor were received for actions during the occupation ; 1 Army , 9 to members of the United States Marine Corps and 53 to Navy personnel .

Battle of Blavet The Battle of Blavet ( French : " Bataille du Blavet " ) was an encounter between the Huguenot forces of Soubise and a French fleet under the Duke of Nevers in Blavet harbour ( " Port de Blavet " , modern Port - Louis ) , Brittany in January 1625 , triggering the Second Huguenot rebellion against the Crown of France . Background . An important Huguenot rebellion against the pro - Catholic King of France Louis XIII had taken place a few years before , in 1621 - 1622 , ending in stalemate and in the sealing of the Treaty of Montpellier . Resentment was breeding on the Huguenot side however as king Louis XIII was not respecting the clauses of the Treaty of Montpellier . Not a single condition is said to have been respected , as Toiras was reinforcing the fortification of Fort Louis , instead of dismantling it , right under the walls of the Huguenot stronghold of La Rochelle , and as a strong fleet was being prepared in Blavet for the eventuality of a siege of the city . The threat of a future siege on the city of La Rochelle was obvious , both to Soubise and the people of La Rochelle . At the same time the Huguenots and Soubise were very defiant of the Crown , displaying intentions to become independent on the model of the Dutch Republic : " If the citizens , abandoned to their guidance , were threateneed in their rights and creeds , they would imitate the Dutch in their resistance to Spain , and defy all the power of the monarchy to reduce them . " ( " Mercure de France " ) A fleet of five warships was being prepared at Blavet , for a future blockade of the city of La Rochelle . Emissaries were sent to Paris to obtain the execution of the Treaty of Montpellier , but in vain . Soubise resolved to take action . With a few ships which he had prepared at Chef de Baye , near La Rochelle , he set sail , and attacked Blavet in January 1625 . He had 12 small boats , 300 well - armed soldiers and 100 sailors . Six Royal great royal ships were at anchor , " all well armed with cannon , but lacking men and ammunition " . Soubise captured the fleet by surprise , and became master of the city , especially taking possession of " La Vierge " , the largest known warship of the period : it weighed 500 tons , had 80 bronze cannons , and had cost 200 , 000 crowns to build . The Duke of Vendôme , Commander of the Province , attempted to block Soubise in the harbour , with heavy chain and batteries . After two weeks however , Soubise managed to break through with his fleet . Soubise , now in possession of a formidable fleet of 70 ships , then anchored in front of Ile de Ré , which he had occupied with his troops . These events led to a strong reaction from the King , who set up a counter - attack in September 1625 , leading to the Capture of Ile de Ré , and with Soubise fleeing to England . Soubise would return two years later with a large fleet under the Duke of Buckingham , leading to the final showdown of the Siege of La Rochelle ( 1627 – 1628 ) .
11th Intelligence Squadron Mission . The 11th Intelligence Squadron ( 11 IS ) , provides tailored full - motion video processing , exploitation and dissemination for special operations forces engaged in both combat and non - combat operations worldwide . History . The squadron was established in August 2006 , in order to provide tailored and dedicated intelligence support to special operations forces . It became the first imagery and full - motion video intelligence unit to be specificially assigned to Air Force Special Operations Command ( AFSOC ) . It is unique among Air Force intelligence squadrons in that it does not report to the Air Force Intelligence , Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency ( AFISRA ) . Rapid growth in special operations missions and in reconnaissance operations in support of the Global War on Terrorism led to the unit becoming one of the fastest growing Air Force units . The unit expanded to include geographically separated units at Fort Bragg , North Carolina and Cannon Air Force Base , New Mexico . In addition , the unit is affiliated with National - Geospatial Intelligence analysts in Washington , D . C . and St . Louis , Missouri . With the dramatic growth in UAVs and full - motion video capabilities , the 11th Intelligence Squadron is responsible for more than half of all the full - motion video exploited by the U .
