This high ranking officer once had a bounty on his head of 5000 Pesos, was the only person in US history to be awarded a certain very high decoration for valor 5 times with an equivalent award from another branch of service once. Some of his most famous quotes deal with the condition of being "surrounded." Who was he and what were the valorous decorations awarded to him?

You got another one SR, It was LtGen Lewis "Chesty" Puller who would tell his Marines "Good, We're Surrounded... That Simplifies the Problem". With 37 years of combat he was decorated with America's second highest award for valor 6 times over a 37 year career.
