	Bausell enlisted in the Marine Corps on December 15 1941. After training at the Marine Corps' recruit depot at Parris Island, S.C., he joined the 1st Marine Division, at Camp Lejeune, N.C., on January 29 1942. Bausell was promoted to Private First Class on March 25, and to Corporal on June 1. Assigned to take Peleliu, the 5th Marines sailed from Pavuvu in early September 1944. Landing at Beach "Orange One" on September 15, Bausell’s regiment drew the task of seizing the island's airfield. Transported across the coral reef in LVTs, the ~~marines~~ hit the beach and began fighting their way inland. Many small unmarked coral ridges bogged down the advance. Cpl. Bausell was in a squad assigned to neutralize a ridge honeycombed with many Japanese fortifications. The squad, led by 2nd Lt. Jack Kimble, was using a flamethrower to flush Japanese soldiers out the opposite side of a bunker where Cpl. Bausell and several other men were also firing into the fortification. A Japanese soldier appeared and threw a grenade among Bausell and the others. "There wasn't any cover and no place to run," related Kimble, "Bausell ran toward the grenade and fell upon it." Cpl. Bausell took the full blast of the explosion, sacrificing his own body to save his men. Severely wounded, he was evacuated and died of his wounds on August 18. For his conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty, Bausell was awarded ~~The~~ Medal of Honor posthumously		Bausell enlisted in the Marine Corps on 15 December 1941.

In addition to the Medal of Honor, Cpl Bausell was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart Medal, the Presidential Unit Citation Ribbon, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with four bronze stars and the World War II Victory Medal.<br/><br/>

<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3>
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during
its lifetime.
The list is in chronological order.
<table width="90%">

</tr>
</table>
<p> </p>

<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 name of the ship (for
example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same
ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner).
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>
<li>[[USS BAUSELL DD-845_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1 ]]     (1946-77)</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>

<h3>Postmarks</h3>
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a
separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. 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.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
BAUSELL earned 3 Battle Stars for service in Korea<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Lewis Kenneth Bausell USMC (April 17 1924 - August 18 1944)<br/>
Bausell enlisted in the Marine Corps on December 15 1941. After training at the Marine Corps' recruit depot at Parris Island, S.C., he joined the 1st Marine Division, at Camp Lejeune, N.C., on January 29 1942. Bausell was promoted to Private First Class on March 25, and to Corporal on June 1. Assigned to take Peleliu, the 5th Marines sailed from Pavuvu in early September 1944. Landing at Beach "Orange One" on September 15, Bausell’s regiment drew the task of seizing the island's airfield. Transported across the coral reef in LVTs, the marines hit the beach and began fighting their way inland. Many small unmarked coral ridges bogged down the advance. Cpl. Bausell was in a squad assigned to neutralize a ridge honeycombed with many Japanese fortifications. The squad, led by 2nd Lt. Jack Kimble, was using a flamethrower to flush Japanese soldiers out the opposite side of a bunker where Cpl. Bausell and several other men were also firing into the fortification. A Japanese soldier appeared and threw a grenade among Bausell and the others. "There wasn't any cover and no place to run," related Kimble, "Bausell ran toward the grenade and fell upon it." Cpl. Bausell took the full blast of the explosion, sacrificing his own body to save his men. Severely wounded, he was evacuated and died of his wounds on August 18. For his conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty, Bausell was awarded The Medal of Honor posthumously
