PLEASE, my friend, do not use the word "WIN" or "WINNER" in connection with the Congressional Medal of Honor or any other AWARD or MEDAL. WAR is not a lottery. Medals are not WON.. THEY ARE EARNED AND AWARDED. The terms "WIN" and "WINNER" are civilian views of the military! I will see what I can dig up for you on Dan Daly. As you know Smedly D. Butler was also awarded two medals of Honor as was "Manilia" John Basilone. Not sure if Buttler's two were awarded as enlisted man. I know one was. Basilone was enlisted. I have book of all citations for the MHO and in regular contact with Ramond "Mike" Clausen, who is former Marine who recieved the Medal in Viet Nam. Semper fi; David J.

For military personnel there is no other and any adjective is unnecessary. The citation includes the preamble "The President of the United States In the name of The Congress takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to," etc., hence the commonly used phrase. Russell
