Patriot,

On August 14, 1900, a young Marine was ordered to secure a
position during the Boxer Rebellion in Peking, China.

The Marine, Dan Daly, a former paperboy from Long Island, stood
at 5'6" and weighed just 134 pounds. He wasn't an imposing
figure at all.

But Dan Daly had the fighting spirit of a giant.

He was left alone with a simple order to hold a crumbling fort
wall overnight.

As night fell, hordes of Boxers attacked Daly’s position within
the intent to overrun and invade the military base. With just
one man defending the position, the enemy thought the task would
be easy.

But they underestimated the fighting spirit of one American from
the streets of New York.

Over the night, wave after wave of Chinese advanced on Daly.

Despite being alone, Daly honored his order. He didn’t retreat,
he didn’t hide, and he certainly didn’t back down, Dan Daly
fought!

When the sun rose, Daly looked down from his position to see the
bodies of 200 Boxers whose last decision on earth was to
challenge a United States Marine.

Seventeen years later, during World War 1, a string of defeated
French soldiers were limping away from a wheat field in France.

The field surrounded what was known as Belleau Wood, a
rock-filled forest entrenched with 5 German Divisions and their
machine guns.

The French had attempted to take the forest but were raked by
German guns when they stepped into the open field.

As the French were marching out, the Marines were marching in.

With fear in their eyes, the retreating French warned the Marines
to retreat, that they would all be killed.

When a French soldier told Marine Captain Lloyd Williams and his
men to turn around, he replied, “Retreat? Hell, we just got
here!”

The Marines advanced through the waist-high wheat field, and
among them was Sgt. Dan Daly, by then a recipient of TWO Medals
of Honor with nothing more to prove.

The first wave of Marines were slaughtered. Still, they continued
with Daly motivating his men with the famous cry, "Come on, you
sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?"

They fought their way into the woods, and for the next 19 days,
the Marines fought the Germans without relief.

Exhausted and low on food and ammunition, the Marines ran through
the woods, bare-chested with fixed-bayonets. As they fought,
they growled and barked like dogs from hell to terrify and drive
out the disciplined German soldiers.

And on June 26, 1917, an American Major radioed in to report,
“Woods now U.S. Marine Corps entirely.”

Following the battle, the French renamed Belleau Wood, “Wood of
the Marine Brigade.”

The Germans also awarded the Marines a name after the battle . .
. “Teufel Hunden" or as Marines are known today, "Devil Dogs."

And the paperboy from Long Island? Dan Daly survived the battle.
He was recommended for a third Medal of Honor for his displays of
bravery in France, but officials felt it was too much to give one
man three medals.

Dan Daly exemplifies the American fighting spirit that flows
through every soldier, sailor, airman, and Marine.

That fighting spirit is the reason why you and I can sleep well
at night, knowing that we’re not just safe, but our enemies lay
awake, wide-eyed, fearing the growl of our Devil Dogs.

And may God have mercy on any enemy that crosses American soil,
as 18.8 million veterans are alive today. Please thank one of
them today.

Happy Veteran’s Day,

Laura Loomer

P.S. If you served in our Armed Forces, thank you so much for
your sacrifice for us. You have my eternal respect and
