This R.E.D. Friday, we honor Gunnery Sgt. John Basilone of the U.S. Marine Corps for his extraordinary gallantry at Guadalcanal on October 24–25, 1942. Facing overwhelming enemy forces, Basilone held critical defensive positions, repaired weapons under fire, and led resupply efforts when ammunition ran out — actions that earned him the Medal of Honor. Even today, his legacy lives on as a powerful example of leadership, grit, and devotion to fellow Marines.
