Uncommon card · No. 151732

St. Elmo Murray Haney (April 1898 – January 31, 1979) was a senior non-commissioned officer in the United States Marine Corps. As a veteran of many early campaigns in the Marine Corps, he was considered the epitome of the "old breed" Marine and a source of inspiration during the tough battles of the Pacific Campaign in World War II. Author and fellow Marine Eugene Sledge described Haney as "not a man born of woman, but that God had issued him to the Marine Corps."
