Colonel Daly was a B52 command pilot with over 5,000 flight hours and the recipient of two Distinguished Flying Crosses. The Air Force Colonel, Retired, held various senior counterterrorism positions within the Pentagon, the Department of State, the White House, and the National Nuclear Security Administration. Daly, who passed in 2021, was a true patriot who made it his priority to make the U.S. a safer place.
While working for the Department of Energy’s Office of Counterterrorism and Counterproliferation, Daly was known for his keen subject-matter expertise and ability to bring people together. Daly left an indelible positive impression with those whom he worked with.
