Frank, I prefer to use another Dan Daly. Sgt.Maj. Daniel J. Daly USMC, two time Medal of Honor winner, also awarded a Navy Cross for his actions at the Battle of Belleau Wood during WW I. He is also famous for his encourging words at that battle. "Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?. On they went to win the battle and the Germans who fled called the "Teufelshunden" or Devil Dogs.
