“Come on, you Sons of Bitches, Do you want to live forever?” -GySgt Dan Daly Belleau Wood France 1918

During the legation siege at Peking, during the Boxer Rebellion, Dan Daly single-handedly defended a critical section of the American defenses against repeated attacks by hundreds of Chinese "Boxers," resulting in about 200 dead or dying Chinese by dawn. His actions ensured the security of a crucial point on the perimeter wall, saving hundreds of lives in the Foreign Legation Quarters. For his actions in August 1900, Daly received the first of his two Medals of Honor. He earned his second in 1915. Daly, who was now a Gunnery Sergeant at this point, was part of a platoon that had been sent out on a reconnaissance patrol deep into the Haitian countryside.  One day, as they were fording a small river, the Marines found themselves in the middle of a deadly ambush.  400 Haitian Cacos rebels poured fire into the 35-man platoon from three sides of the river, tearing into the U.S. troops.  The Marines fought hard and managed to push their way across the river, where they set up defensive positions and tried to fight off their attackers.  Unfortunately, the platoon's heavy machine gun had fallen in the initial pandemonium and was now resting peacefully at the bottom of the river. That night, he made his way out from the American positions, jumped into the river, retrieved the machine gun and snuck back to join his platoon.  The following morning, the now-heavily-armed Marines split into three fire teams and swept through the jungle scattering the rebels in all directions. GySgt Daly fought with exceptional gallantry against heavy odds and was awarded his Second Congressional Medal of Honor.
