All Navy double winners, except Daly and Division General Smedley Butler, received both Medals of Honor for the same action. Daly is said to have shouted: Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever? to the men of his company before accusing the Germans during the Battle of Belleau Wood in World War I. Daly was reportedly offered a commission of officer twice who replied that he would rather be an exceptional sergeant than just another officer. Awards[edit] Medals of Honor are on display at the National Marine Corps Museum in Triangle, Virginia. Biography Daly being awarded the Médaille militaire. Daniel Joseph Daly was born on November 11, 1873, in Glen Cove, New York. By size, he was a small man (5'6 or 1.68 m tall, 132 pounds or 60 kg),[1] but established himself as an amateur boxer. Marine Corps Service Hoping to participate in the Spanish-American War, he enlisted in the Marine Corps on January 10, 1899, and received his initial training at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. [2] The war ended before he finished training. In 1900, during the Boxer Rebellion in China, he received his first Medal of Honor for defending his position against repeated attacks and inflicted casualties of around 200 on attacking boxers. His second Medal of Honor came fifteen years later, when he was fighting with U.S. forces supporting the government in Haiti against the rebels. On the night of October 24, 1915, at the Battle of Fort Dipitie, he was part of a group of 35-41 Marines who were ambushed by a force of approximately 400 hunts (Haitian insurgents). He led one of three groups of men during the fight to reach a nearby fort and was awarded the medal for his actions He was awarded the Navy Cross for repeated actions of heroism and great service during the Belleau Wood in World War I Daly retired on February 6, 1929. Daly's death and burial is buried in Cypress Hills National Cemetery. Daly died on April 27, 1937. He is buried in Cypress Hills National Cemetery, Section 5, Tomb No. 70. Do you want to live forever?, quote Daly is popularly attributed in the tradition of the Marine Corps, on June 6, 1918,[3] as screaming, Come on, motherfuckers, do you want to live forever? to his men during the Battle of Belleau Wood. Daly later told a Marine Corps historian that his words were: For God's sake, come on! Do you want to live forever? Chicago Tribune correspondent Floyd Gibbons, who was at Belleau Wood, reported hearing the words in his 1918 memoir And They Thought We wouldn't Fight, which he attributed to an un named artillery sergeant (Gunnery Sergeant Daly was assigned as the first sergeant of the 73rd Company at the time). Gibbons was attached to elements of Major Benjamin S. Berry's battalion (3rd 5th Marine Battalion) during the battle, but Daly was Sergeant First of the 73rd Machine Gun Company, attached to the 3rd 6th Marine Battalion under Major Berton W. Sibley. Sibley's battalion attacked south of Berry's and was on the outskirts of Lucy-le-Bocage when Daly screamed. In addition, the 6th Commander of the Marines, Colonel Albertus W. Catlin, implied in his memoir that the cry came from an anonymous sergeant in the Berry battalion. [4] For her actions at Belleau Wood, she was recommended for a third medal of honor. However, during the processing of his medal, someone thought that awarding three medals of honor to the same man was unacceptable, so Daly was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and later the French Navy Cross and Médaille militaire. [5] An earlier use of a similar phrase is attributed to Frederick the Great: Boys, do you want to live forever? (German: Kerle, wollt ihr ewig leben?), addressing the Retreating Prussian troops at the Battle of Kolin in 1757. [6] Honors and Honors A Fletcher-class destroyer USS Daly (DD-519) was named in Daly's honor and was commissioned on March 10, 1943. On November 10, 2005, the United States Postal Service issued its Distinguished Marine seals in which Daly was honored, along with three other Marine Corps heroes. In addition to Daly, these labels honored John Basilone, John A. Lejeune and Chesty Puller.
