Medal of Honor Recipient Michael J. Daly US Army WWII
Lt. Michael J. Daly earned his medal of honor on April 18, 1945 at
Nuremberg, Germany. A German machine gun caught his unit in an
exposed position and Daly ordered his men to take cover, dashed forward
alone and wiped out that machine gun nest. As his unit continued the
advance, he ran into an enemy patrol armed with rocket launchers which
threatened friendly armor. Again he went forward alone and opened fire on
the Germans, killing all six of them. He continued wiping out two more
German machine gun nests. By the end of the day he had killed 15
Germans, silenced 3 machine guns and wiped out an entire patrol. This
first day cover is hand signed by Daly and was obtained directly from him.
