Thank you.
Now I know why there is an off ramp on San Diego Freeway in area of Camp Pendleton (marine training) to a road called Basilone.

Further south on the east side of the highway you can see Edson rifle range. named for Red Mike Edson, Marine Raider and commander of the defense of Guadalcanal.

Medal of Honor, two Navy Crosses, Silver Star.

We Marines take our history very seriously.
