Daniel J. Daly

Daniel J. Daly became one of only 19 Marines to be awarded the Medal of Honor twice, and only one of two to receive to be awarded the honor on two separate occasions for conspicuous gallantry. At the height of the Boxer Rebellion in China, Daly received his first Medal of Honor for single-handedly defending his position from repeated attacks by a force of approximately 200 Boxers. He acquired his second Medal of Honor in recognition during the United States’ intervention to suppress a rebel uprising on the island nation of Haiti. On October 24, 1915, 400 Haitian insurgents ambushed Daly and his fellow Marines. He led one of three groups during the fight to the relative safety of a nearby fort. Major General Smedley Darlington Butler, the most decorated Marine in U.S. history referred to Daly as “The fightin’est Marine I ever knew!”

  1. Israel may as well get their armed forces ready! Biden is going to have a giveaway/firesale of the US when he gets in. Almost tempted to pray for him to die! But instead praying for him to somehow survive 4 years so the Ho doesn’t take over!!!!!!!! If the Ho does we may all be living in grass huts! Biden better make sure his secret service detail keeps him alive (not let Obammer or the Ho get him “erased”!)

    Or maybe we’ll have civil war number two?
