No Collins but here's another famous Marine, Barney Ross:
 Ross, a 3-division ex-champ born in 1909, joined the Marines when WWII broke out, and asked to transfer from a training position in San Diego to active combat He was awarded America's third highest military honor, the Silver Star with a Presidential Citation, for heroism on Guadalcanal. One night, he was one of four wounded Marines surrounded by enemy forces. Ross, who was the only one able to fight, held their position and single-handedly killed nearly two dozen Japanese soldiers over a hellish night of battle, praying in Hebrew as he went. He then carried a fellow Marine to safety who outweighed him by about 90 pounds.
