Asked what his father thought of him serving in the Marines, Basilone smiled and answered simply, “My father likes this country.” The Marine sergeant was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions at Guadalcanal. Basilone later died at the Battle for Iwo Jima, February 19, 1945, during that D-Day invasion. U.S. Navy Photograph. Photographed through Mylar sleeve. (2015/11/06).
