War far away to most at home hero says New York
Commander Donald J. MacDonald, the most decorated American naval officer, said he never entered battle without fear. The Annapolis graduate, age 35, leads the destroyer O'Bannon, known as the Little Helena, which earned a presidential unit citation after five major engagements in the Pacific.
