  • Sgt, Maj, Dan Daly's Medals Donated to the Marine
    SGT, MAJ, DAN DALY’S MEDALS DONATED TO THE MARINE CORPS SUBMITTED BY: MAJ, DUAN K, SINCLAIR, JR, The medals of SgtMaj Daniel Daly, USMC, were donated to the Ma- rine Corps along with a large number of his citations, warrants, papers, several photographs, and other assorted memorabilia. The donor, Mr. Burton J. Loeb of Massapequa, New York, Daly’s nephew, presented the material to then Assistant Commandant General Samuel Jaskilka at a ceremony arranged by the Marine Corps Public Affairs Office, New York. It was the office’s Public Affairs Chief, GySgt Robert L. Hoffman, who was instrumental in persuading Mr. Loeb to make his generous donation. The medal collection contains SgtMaj Daly’s two Medals of Honor, his Distinguished Service Cross, his Navy Cross, French decora- tions, and all of his campaign medals. The only medal missing is his Good Conduct Medal which disappeared years ago. The Daly col- lection is understandably of inestimable value to the Marine Corps. SgtMaj Daly and MajGen Smedley D. Butler are the only two Marines to have been awarded the Medal of Honor for two separate actions. Dan Daly’s 21 years of active service were filled with wars, large and small, expeditions, landings, and seven tours at sea. He enlisted on January i0, 1899 at the age of 25. Not a big man, the new recruit carried 135 pounds on a 5’5" frame. In May of 1900 he was serving as a member of Capt Newt H. Hall’s Marine Detachment in the cruiser USS Newark when Chinese "Boxers" began threatening the safety of the Peking legations.

  • John 6:41-51 Pentecost 12; August 12 & 13, 2018 Do You Want to Live
    John 6:41-51 Pentecost 12; August 12 & 13, 2018 Do you want to live forever? On June 10, 1918, during the Battle of Belleau Wood in France, 44-year-old Marine Corps First Sergeant Daniel Daly, armed with a pistol and hand grenades, single-handedly attacked and destroyed an enemy machine gun emplacement. It was the kind of action from which legends are born, but it was not even Daly’s most famous action that month that he is known for. He is better known for his battle leadership four days earlier when he urged his 73rd Machine Gun Company forward with words now legendary in the Marine Corps: “Do you want to live forever?” They went "over the top" and charged the German positions. Those words have become a rallying cry for the marines – they will do whatever it takes to defend the United States, even if it requires them to die. Whether the statement is said in the context of war or not, it is an interesting question that human beings have been asking themselves since the Garden of Eden. Do you want to live forever? Yes. Most human beings don’t want to die. Look at our actions. We think that if we have the right health plan, follow the right diet, receive the right treatments, we can put off this getting old thing. Why? Human beings are wired to want to live forever. We are not anxious to die. Would you like to die today? I don’t. Part of the reason for that is that God didn’t create human beings to die.

    SERGEANT MAJOR DANIEL DALY, USMC In the nearly 150 year history of the Congressional Medal of Honor, the United States Highest award “conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty”, only 19 men have been awarded the medal twice. Among them is Marine Sergeant Major Daniel Daly, one of only two marines to receive the Medal of Honor Twice for separate acts of heroism1. Daly was born in Glen Cove, Long Island, New York, on 11 November 1873. He was slight of stature, only 5’ 6” in height and weighing 132 lbs, yet enjoyed an early reputation as a fighter, a reputation he would prove more than deserved. Daly was part of the U.S. Embassy Guard in Peking when Did you Know that… the Boxer Rebellion broke out in 1900. In one of the most memorable acts of that war, the Boxers surrounded the compound of the foreign legations in Peking and laid siege Irish American have to it for 55 days.

After 144 years of official policy against allowing blacks to serve their country as U.S. Marines, on June 1, 1942, the nation’s first black Marines broke the color barrier, gaining entry into a military organization that today carries with it tremendous symbolic and mythic significance in America.
