More than 40 million Americans have served in the U.S. military
during wartime. Only 3500 have been awarded the Medal of Honor. Of
these, three have received the medal twice. One was recommended for
it a third time. Marine Corps Sergeant Major Daniel J. Daly was an
unlikely hero at five feet, six inches tall and 132 pounds. What he
lacked in size he made up for in grit. He received his first Medal
of Honor for single-handedly holding off enemy attacks during
China's Boxer Rebellion of 1900, the second for his daring, one-man
action during an ambush in Haiti in 1915. He was nominated for (but
not awarded) an unprecedented third medal in World War I for his
valor at Belleau Wood, where he led a charge against the German
stronghold with the battle cry, "Come on you sons of bitches, do
you want to live forever?" This first full-length biography
presents a detailed examination of a Marine Corps legend.
