Discover the remarkable life of John Basilone...
John Basilone was a man who embodied self-sacrifice. Prior to his passing, he engaged in several incredible battles with America's foes in the Pacific Theater of World War II. It was during the heat of battle at Guadalcanal that this Marine proved himself a thousand times over. Under heavy fire, he left his position to run across hostile terrain to grab up much-needed ammunition so that he could resupply his gunners. In the end, only Basilone and two other men from his unit were left standing, but they nevertheless managed to hand the Japanese a stunning defeat.

Basilone was a hero after this feat and could have easily retired with the army's blessing. The top brass, in fact, preferred for him to utilize his newfound fame in bond drives rather than risking his life in further battles. But nevertheless, John Basilone insisted on continuing the fight. This choice had him out on the front lines in the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. He ultimately gave his life defending his fellow soldiers. This is his life-this is his story.
