Medal of Honor Recipient killed on Iwo Jima. World War II Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient John F. Basilone was one of the first Marines to be awarded the Medal of Honor during World War II. On Sunday night October 25th, 1942, at Lunga Ridge on Guadalcanal, about 1,000 yards south of Henderson Field, Japanese troops attacked. One of the Marine section leaders facing them was Sergeant Basilone. Basilone stayed with his men, repairing guns and changing barrels in almost total darkness, while giving encouragment to his men. One section of guns were overrun. Two men killed, three others wounded. Basilone took one of his guns on his back and raced for the breach in the line. Eight Japanese were surprised and killed. The guns were jammed by mud and water and a few yards away the Japanese were forming for another charge. Frantically stripping mud from the ammo belts men fed them into the guns as Basilone cleared jams and sprayed troops rushing at his positions with fixed bayonets and hand grenades. At 0300 a final Banzai charge took place. The full weight of the fanatical Japanese fell on Basilone and his men. He had set up a cross fire which smashed the charge. At least 38 dead Japanese were credited to Sergeant Basilone -- many killed with his Colt .45. Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone was killed leading his heavy machine gun squad off the beach on Iwo Jima on February 19th, 1945. He had just helped destroy an enemy blockhouse before he was hit by a mortar shell. He was the only Marine to be awarded both The Medal Of Honor and The Navy Cross during World War II. John F. Basilone now rests in peace for eternity at the Arlington National Cemetery, United States. #WW2 #Iwojima #medalofhonor #moh #wwii #ww2stories #footstepsresearchers #purpleheart #purpleheartday #veteransday #pacific #guadalcanal #ww2pic #ww2veterans

At 6 a.m., Oct. 3, 2009, Combat Outpost Keating in Kamdesh District, Nuristan Province, Afghanistan, came under complex attack by an enemy force estimated at 300 fighters. The fighters occupied the high ground on all four sides of the combat outpost and initiated the attack with concentrated fire from B10 recoilless rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, known as RPGs, DSHKA heavy machine gun fire, mortars, and small-arms fire. Staff Sgt. Clinton L. Romesha displayed extraordinary heroism through a day-long engagement in which he killed multiple enemy fighters, recovered fallen Soldiers, and led multiple recovery, resupply, and counterattack operations. #GlobalRecon #MOH #MedalOfHonor #Remember #Afghanistan #Infantry #Army #clintromesha @clintonromesha #RedPlatoon

On this day 51 years ago, then-Staff Sgt. Roy P. Benavidez, while assigned to Detachment B56, 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) in Vietnam, distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty by a “series of daring and extremely valorous actions…expos[ing] himself constantly to withering enemy fire, and his refusal to be stopped despite numerous severe wounds, saved the lives of at least eight men." Benavides would retire at the rank of Master Sgt. and was awarded the Medal of Honor on February 24th, 1981. #specialforces #greenberet #quietprofessional #deoppressoliber #medalofhonor
