Gunnery Sergeant John โManila Johnโ Basilone was a bad man! ๐ฆ
๐โ๏ธ
Born #OTD in 1916, Gunnery Sergeant John โManila Johnโ Basilone became one of the Marine Corpsโ most celebrated heroes.
At Guadalcanal, he kept machine guns firing through repeated Japanese assaults and risked his life to replenish ammunitionโactions that earned him the Medal of Honor. After returning home to help sell war bonds, he requested a return to combat.
On 19 February 1945, Basilone landed on Iwo Jima, where he helped his Marines advance under heavy fire before being killed in action. He was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.
On his 110th birth anniversary, remember the Marine behind the legend in Naval Historyโs โReal Marines Behind HBOโs The Pacificโ:
