Daniel Daly earned the Medal of Honor for actions in which two conflicts?

• A. Haiti and Veracruz
• B. Boxer Rebellion and Haiti
• C. Derna and Haiti
• D. Belleau Wood and Haiti

Answer: (B)

Daniel Daly is one of the few Marines to earn the Medal of Honor twice, and the two actions were in two distinct conflicts. His first Medal of Honor came for bravery during the Boxer Rebellion in China, when U.S. forces were involved in relief operations around Peking. His second Medal of Honor was earned during the United States’ occupation of Haiti, reflecting repeated acts of conspicuous gallantry under fire in that conflict. That combination—Boxer Rebellion in China and Haiti—is why this answer is correct. The other pairings involve different battles or eras (such as Belleau Wood in World War I, Veracruz in Mexico, or earlier campaigns like Derna), which are not the two conflicts for which Daly received his two Medals of Honor.
