| 50k | Born 11 November 1873 at Glen Cove, Long Island, N.Y., Daniel Daly enlisted in the Marine Corps 10 January 1899. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for distinguished and gallant conduct in the presence of the enemy at the Battle of Peking, China on 14 August 1900 during the Boxer Rebellion. He then served in the Caribbean and received a second Congressional Medal of Honor for his gallantry and heroism on 24-25 October 1915 during the capture of Fort Liberte, Haiti. During World War I he served with the American Expeditionary Forces in France from 4 November 1917 to 21 April 1919, serving continually at the front. He was wounded twice during these actions. On 5 June 1918 at the risk of his life he extinguished a fire in an ammunition dump at Lucy-LeBocage, and on 7 June during a heavy bombardment he visited all the gun crews of his company to cheer his men. On 10 June he attacked an enemy machine gun emplacement, unassisted, and captured it by the use of hand grenades and his automatic pistol. Later during the German attack on Bouresches, he brought in wounded men under fire. For these many and various acts of heroism he was awarded the Army Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross, the Croix de Guerre, French Victory Medal, and the French Medaille Militaire. | Bill Gonyo | |
