Married for seven months and a week - his wife Lena was also a Marine and never remarried.

Partner, John Basilone was a great marine and he got the MOH for actions at Guadalcanal.

I can not remember how many Japs he killed on Guadalcanal but he had enough of these Japs killed.

He did not even have to go in with his buddy Marines at "Iwo Jima", but he could not resist the action and the Japs put a sniper at get Basilone.

He loved the USMCorps.

John Basilone is an American Hero.
