0586036	522k	Lt. Colonel Joseph Patrick McCaffery, USMC was born on 20 August 1906 in Chester, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Pennsylvania Military College in 1927. He accepted a commission in the United States Marine Corp Reserve in March 1929, after resigning a commission as 2nd Lieutenant in the Army Reserve received at graduation. After serving at Pearl Harbor, Shanghai, San Diego, and Quantico, McCaffery joined the Marine Raiders. After seeing action at Guadalcanal and New Georgia, McCaffery took command of the Second Raider Battalion for the landings at Bougainville. While leading his troops forward from the beach at Cape Torokina on 01 November 1943, he was struck four times in the chest by machine gun fire from a well hidden Japanese bunker. For his valiant and inspiring leadership during the period November 1942 - January 1943, McCaffery was awarded the Silver Star, and in May 1944 was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.
