Daniel Joseph Daly, born 11 November 1873, in Glen Cove, Long Island, New York. Sergeant Major Daly served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1899 to 1929. His service record includes the following campaigns and theaters of operation: Philippines – China – Mexican War – Haiti – WW1 In mid-1900, a Chinese peasant uprising, and the Boxer Rebellion, which threatened the safety of foreigners in China. Although Marines found themselves embroiled in a pitched battle in Tientsin, it was the events in Peking that captured the world's attention. In Peking, the city's foreign citizens crowded into a small compound defended by forces from six countries. Tasked with defending a section of the compound, the Marines participated in what became known as "55 Days in Peking." It was during the defense of the legation that a young private began his accession to legendary status within the Corps. Pvt. Daniel J. Daly single-handedly held his sentry post against wave after wave of Chinese attackers until reinforcements arrived. For his bravery in Peking, Daly was awarded the first of two Medals of Honor.

Sergeant Major Daniel "Dan" Daly was a US Marine who earned two Medals of Honor, the Navy Cross, the Army Distinguished Service Cross, the Purple Heart and the Croix de Guerre from France, at the Battle for Belleau Wood in France during World War I, Daly coined the now famous Marine rally cry, "Come on you sons of bitches...do you want to live forever!" Sergeant Major Dan Daly retired from the Marine Corps in 1929 and died in 1937. He is honered and always remembered.
