History of the Haitian Campaign (1915-1916)
In response to political instability and unrest in Haiti, the United States initiated the Haitian Campaign in 1915, sending U.S. Marines to protect American interests and restore order. On July 28, 1915, a Marine landing force of over 300 Marines landed in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, marking the beginning of the intervention. Over the course of the next several months, Marines helped stabilize the government, battle hostile forces, and maintain peace.
The campaign culminated in the establishment of a U.S. military government in Haiti and a lasting presence of Marines in the country. The bravery and sacrifice of the Marines during this operation were recognized with various decorations, including the awarding of Bronze Stars for individual acts of heroism. This Battle Streamer is a tribute to their valor and the lasting impact of the Haitian Campaign on U.S.-Haitian relations.
