			'''NAMESAKE''' - Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone, USMC - (November 4, 1916 – February 19, 1945)<br/>
	'''NAMESAKE''' - Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone, USMC (November 4 1916 – February 19 1945).<br/>		Basilone was a United States Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant who received the nation's highest military award for valor, the '''Medal of Honor''', for heroism during the Battle of Guadalcanal in World War II. He was the only enlisted Marine to receive both the Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross in World War II.<br/>
	~~Sgt.~~ Basilone received ~~The~~ Medal of Honor for ~~his actions~~ during ~~October 1942 at~~ the Battle of Guadalcanal. He was ~~killed~~ in ~~action on February 19 1945 during~~ the Battle of Iwo Jima~~. His heroic actions there resulted~~ in ~~being~~ posthumously ~~honored with The~~ Navy Cross and Purple Heart.		Basilone served three years in the United States Army (1934-37) with duty in the Philippines. He enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1940 and was deployed to Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and then to Guadalcanal where he held off 3,000 Japanese troops after his 15-member unit was reduced to two other men. On the first day of the Battle of Iwo Jima, he was killed in action, after which he was posthumously awarded the '''Navy Cross''' for extraordinary heroism. He has received many honors including being the namesake for streets, military locations, a United States Navy destroyer and a US postage stamp.<br/>
			Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone earned the Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross, the Purple Heart Medal with one Gold star, the Combat Action Ribbon, the Presidential Unit Citation Ribbon with one bronze star, the Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, the American Defense Service Medal with one bronze star, the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with two bronze stars and the World War II Victory Medal.<br/><br/>
			Two US Navy ships have been named in his honor - USS Basilone DD-824 and [[JOHN_BASILONE_DDG_122_ \| USS John Basilone DDG-122]].<br/><br/>
			The ships sponsor was Sgt. Lena Mae Basilone, USMCWR, GySgt John Basilone's widow.

<h3>Naval Covers</h3>
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie,
for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should
be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date
range for covers on that page.

</ol>

<h3>Postmarks</h3>
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a
separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry
in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks
should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark
has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest
known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
<br/> <br/>
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.
