Today is a special day for my dad Dan. He is a veteran of the Korean War. He fought in the battle at Chosin Reservoir. He has won a purple heart and bronze star. He is the most amazing man to his seven kids and wife of 58 years.

“Retreat Hell! We’re just attacking in another direction.”

(Attributed to Major General Oliver P. Smith, USMC, Korea, December 1950.)

My husband was in the Marines ‘59-’63, and if he could, he would wish the very best for you. God speed!

Two memorable quotes from Marines in the Battle of Belleau Wood, June 1918:

"Come on, you sons of bitches! Do you want to live forever?"

"Retreat? Hell, we just got here."

The author of the first saying, Sgt. Maj. Dan Daly, is one of only 19 Americans to have won the Medal of Honor twice. He claimed that what he actually said was, "For Christ's sake, men, come on! Do you want to live forever?"
