This Veterans Day, we honor the life and legacy of Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone, one of the most decorated heroes of World War II — and a proud Italian American whose courage continues to inspire generations.

Join Stephanie and her husband Jared, a U.S. Marine veteran, as they share the incredible story of Basilone’s bravery at Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima, his deep devotion to his wife Lena Riggi, and the lasting impact of his sacrifice.

This special video version pairs the original audio with powerful historic photos and emotional visuals, bringing this unforgettable story to life.
