General 'Mike' O'Daniel: One soldier's arc all the way from WWI to the Korean War

I'm not a fan of Gen. Mark W. Clark,
but I did like this passage, in an oral history interview he gave to Columbia
University in 1971, about Gen. John "Mike" O'Daniel-of whom I had never heard:

Hell, O'Daniel had been my second
lieutenant on my infantry company in World War I when I was wounded and he took
over, won the Distinguished Service Cross. I pinned his first star on him at
Salerno, his second star on him at Anzio, and his third star on him in Korea.

O'Daniel also served in Vietnam
briefly in the mid-1950s. Kind of reminds me of Sam
Damon. I recently spoke at an old soldiers' home and was struck by the
number of three-war vets there, including a 96-year-old retired general who had
worked for, among others, MacArthur and Ridgway. I gave a laudatory talk about
Ridgway and even then, the old general said, I underestimated him.
