Today, February 19th, is a very significant day. It is the first day of the Battle of Iwo Jima. In 1945, the Marines stormed the beaches of that tiny, but strategically crucial island to secure freedom for the Allies during WWII. Over 70,000 American Marines and Navy servicemen took part in the battle on that tiny 8 square mile volcanic island. Over 20,000 Americans were wounded and 6,821 Americans were killed. One of those killed was Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone, a Medal of Honor recipient for action seen during the battle of Guadalcanal in 1942/1943. He was only 28 and was part of the 27th Marines, 5th Marine Division. We honor Basilone today with this beautifully restored and copyrighted photo courtesy of the John Basilone Parade Committee.
