1915: SgtMaj Dan Daly

During the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, Sergeant Major Dan Daly 
fought off Chinese snipers and single-handedly defended the Marines' position until reinforcements arrived. This bravery earned him a Medal of Honor. 
 
In 1915, SgtMaj Daly earned the prestigious medal a second time during the Haitian Occupation. He gallantly fended off Haitian bandits all through the night to ultimately defeat them in the morning. 
 
A courageous leader, Daly is well known for his fearlessness in battle. He was highly respected by his fellow Marines; Major Smedley Butler described him as "the fightinest Marine I ever knew." Daly and Butler are the only Marines who have been awarded two Medals of Honor.
