A friend of mine, active duty Marine, reminded me that 6 June 1918 marked the assault on Hill 142 in the Battle of Belleau Wood.

But I do know Gunnery Sergeant Dan Daly, Two time recipient of the Medal of Honor, was there that day and coined the Phrase "Come on you Son's of Bitch's, do you want to live forever?" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Daly |

Ten years ago, his church decided to ask many of the veterans to stand and tell their stories during special services. The church leaders recognized that many of these WWII soldiers were passing away before telling the younger generation about the great sacrifices that shaped our country and citizens. It was a great series and brought out many horrifying and heartwarming tales. That started my dad talking about his experiences during the war - he also began attending reunions of the 75th Infantry, something he still does. |
