Lee and I have been eagerly awaiting for this series. We are really looking forward to this. Thanks for sharing it.

 

For those who don't read French, it basically says it probably won't be broadcast until 2010. So be patient!

Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone (November 4, 1916 – February 19, 1945) was a United States Marine who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions at the Battle of Guadalcanal during World War II. He was the only enlisted Marine in World War II to receive both the Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross.[1]

 

He held off 3,000 Japanese troops at Guadalcanal, after his 15-member unit was reduced to two men.[2] Basilone was killed in action on the first day of the Battle of Iwo Jima, after which he was posthumously honored with the Navy Cross. He is the only enlisted Marine in World War II to have received the Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross, and a Purple Heart. Basilone is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

 

In April 2007, it was announced that Basilone's deeds, along with Robert Leckie's memoirs, Helmet for My Pillow, and Eugene B. Sledge's book With the Old Breed.
