Gy. Sgt. John Basilone, USMC, MOH


Citation: "For extraordinary heroism and conspicuous gallantry in action against enemy Japanese forces, above and beyond the call of duty, while serving with the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division in the Lunga Area. Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, on 24 and 25 October 1942. While the enemy was hammering at the Marines’ defensive positions, Sgt. Basilone, in charge of 2 sections of heavy machineguns, fought valiantly to check the savage and determined assault. In a fierce frontal attack with the Japanese blasting his guns with grenades and mortar fire, one of Sgt. Basilone’s sections, with its guncrews, was put out of action, leaving only 2 men able to carry on. Moving an extra gun into position, he placed it in action, then, under continual fire, repaired another and personally manned it, gallantly holding his line until replacements arrived. A little later, with ammunition critically low and the supply lines cut off, Sgt. Basilone, at great risk of his life and in the face of continued enemy attack, battled his way through hostile lines with urgently needed shells for his gunners, thereby contributing in large measure to the virtual annihilation of a Japanese regiment. His great personal valor and courageous initiative were in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service."

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!



The Star Spangled Banner – Verse Four
(Click)


Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Please let me know by Freepmail if you would like
to be admitted to or released from my music ping list

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...is the Music Director ready for rehearsal?

Good lessons today? You and Lynn-Dah ready for saling tomorrow?

Tomorrow is teach my Mom how to access email on my Dad’s PC day, and then get her to start going through all the folders. Who knows what she might find.

Then we tackle the garage....a bit at a time. Lots of things are going in the trash.

Healing is all done now outside of some occasional itching. I’m not quite back to normal workloads, but heavy lifting has never been my forte.

It’s getting really cold here - into the 20s tonight and we had sleet Wednesday night. I’m hoping it’s a bit warmer next Friday as the night after Halloween I’m taking Mikey to the Milton Corn Maze http://www.cooperfamilyfarms.net/ . I haven’t seen him since the surgery and missed his birthday, so I’m praying for a clear manageable night next Friday. We went to the Maze together in 2009 and had a ball and it’s one of the few things he seems to remember.

I harvested and canned the last of the peppers today and am now in full packing and clutter clean up mode. I do hope to get a few more days in the yard before full-blown winter sets in. Curb appeal means a lot.
