  • Dan Daly, an excellent marksman with his had selected his killing ground and it would be the longest single handed standoff in American history. The Boxers had a few artillery set up less than 1,000 yards away to fire almost level and point blank. Daly kept picking off the artillerymen, one by one as they were replaced with new “targets”. The Chinese finally abandoned their artillery, easy pickings for Daly. Written and Hosted by Colin D. Heaton. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.

      I learned in a book printed in England that the USMC predates Nov 10. Some colonies had their own Navys with a compliment of Marines. Connecticut, they were known as the "Original Eight." Plus, I have an ancestor from my grandma's family in Pennsylvania, Capt Joseph Moulder,60 yo, who turned the tide at Trenton with a company of teenage dockworkers(some of the first Marines?)and three canon firing grapeshot masterfully overwhelming the lobster backs. He was court martialed for not giving up the fight.

    Dan Daly was a man who, like many other early-to-mid-20th Century Soldiers and Marines, will never be replicated. It's difficult for anyone to stand out in today's conflicts, and while we've had a number of MOH and Service Cross recipients, they have been essentially placed on a "close hold" status since WWII, meaning, they're removed from the conflict and used as propaganda and/or recruiting tools. Of course, many living recipients of higher military honors simply opt to retire to otherwise exit the military these days.
    One has only to look at our senior leaders. Let's take the Abrams family, for example. Father Creighton and the older two sons have multiple awards for valor, while the youngest, Robert, who I served under in 3ID, has an impressive ribbon rack full of participation trophies. I retired with something along the lines of 14 medals and ribbons, the highest being the MSM. Eighty-plus years ago, we might have seen someone sporting "only" eight US medals, including a DSC, a couple of Silver Stars, and Bronze Stars with 'V' devices, and the usual campaign medals. Now, our senior leaders sport colorful ribbons, but they conspicuously lack 'V' devices, Silver Stars, Service Crosses, or [especially] MOHs. That men like Daly lived full lives is evidence that the American Fighting Man will prevail over all foes, including domestic ones that seem to be on the offensive in the past few years.

Its really sad what the military command has done to most medals and awards.

    Forgotten, no, not for those who have bothered to read and study the history of the United States. There was a time when our history was taught, and it was something to be proud of. While I have some issues with Smedley Butler, I do not have any issues with his actual service. Sargent Major Daly's service and the actions he was so heavily decorated for are well over 100 years in the past, Yet he is remembered by name to many. Most others from that era would be remembered by family, if any. We Americans never dwell much on the past; we look forward; at the time of the Boxers, the United States was pretty tight with the Russians. Look it up; it's quite interesting; as usual, Dr Heaton, you managed to cover all the bases of the Sarget Major's life in 20 min.

    If I was a History teacher l, I would definitely show those videos to my students. They are not teaching true History in schools today, especially public schools.

      The powers that be are too busy rewriting history to teach it.

      That slowly started under Woodrow Wilson and has been going on ever since. It’s gotten real bad the last r twenty years. WW was the first Progressive. Obama was the second .

      Chesty Puller's heroes were Civil War generals. Even as a boy he knew how important they were to the country's legacy.

      When I was in College a History Professor told us a statement that stuck with me. He said History’s not what happened, It’s what people thinks happened.

    I lived in Brooklyn and I lived in Glen Cove. Which is where he lived. I never heard of him before, but what a guy he was!

    As a U.S. Marine we knew who Dan Daly was. However the woman awarded the medal should not have received it because what she did while tremendous was not up to what the MOH required
