Bob Daniels, a resident of Palm Coast and 100%-disabled veteran, served with distinction in the United States Marine Corps from July 24, 1962, to Aug. 1, 1984. He retired as a sergeant major. Daniels was involved in the fierce fighting in Vietnam in 1968. As a result of his heroics, he was awarded the following awards: Navy Commendation with Combat V Medal, Navy Achievement Medal with Star, Presidential Unit Citation, National Defense Medal, Good Conduct Medal with 5 Stars, Navy Unit Citation Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Cross of Gallantry Medal, and Vietnam Campaign Medal.
