John Basilone actually died trying to guide tanks through a mine field after successfully leading them off the beach. The show does a good job in showing his grit, but obviously had to make it so much more emotional

Hits so hard. Cried along with you as always. John Basilone was truly the best kind of Marine. Absolute hero.

This is my favorite episode. It’s almost its own John Basilone movie. It has everything. Family, a soldier’s duty and desire, training, love and romance, the fears of war, the battles… on the Battlefield and in the Heart. John Basilone wanted to go back. It was the only thing that felt right to him. If he didn’t go back, then he would know that thousands of other American soldiers died in his place. They would have died for him, while he was back home living the life that they were supposed to be living. John Basilone was a True Soldier. If there had to be lives risked for the greater good, then his life was to be on the frontline. If someone was going to die for his country, then better it be him, over anyone else. Basilone loved Lena. He wanted so much to live a long and fruitful life with her and their six kids. That was his Hope and Dream. But… Basilone was a True Soldier. If he didn’t go back, then he would be living a life of regret. All his life, he would be thinking that he had stolen a life from someone else. Basilone believed he could never truly be happy or at peace if he didn’t do everything in his power to help save the lives of his fellow soldiers. John Basilone believed, that if he didn’t go back, then his life with Lena and his six kids would be a pretend life. People like John Basilone don’t grow on trees like most of us. They are the solid ground that we grow from. Heroes and Leaders like Winters, Spears, Lipp, Haney, Haldane and Basilone are the reason we are able to live our lives… any way we want. The lives and deaths of Men like Sgt. John Basilone should never be mourned… only celebrated and remembered. Memorialize if you must. I like to think that’s how He would like it.

Great reaction. Basilone being killed was devastating. The episode shows the love story, and then he is killed. The 10 minutes of the episode depicting Iwo Jima was some of the best series war filming.

I have to admit that this episode is probably my least favorite. For me it feels a bit too much like your average Hollywood melodrama. But, still I have to give a ton of respect to John Basilone. He was true hero and a great and selfless American. I hope his sacrifice, as well all who served and laid down their lives in service of this country, will never be forgotten.

They can't just give you something happy no, because "IT'S CALLED WAR, YOU FEEL IT?!!!". Regardless, do you see what specifically this series does better than Band of Brothers? With the Romantic melodrama bullshit tossed aside of course. If you still don't then I hope next episode, you will. Are dare we?! by daring I guess...

The Fat Electrician have a video on John Basilone. It's worth a watch

The interview where you think the guy looks young was done at around the same time as the rest of them (2007/2008). The mans name is Chuck Tatum and he is one of the young recruits who witness John Basilone die. Mr Tatum was 80 years old during that interview, so most certainly not a baby. He just aged gracefully.

Here its johns return and well death, historically how he died has been up to debate, most seem to agree is was shrapnel that got in from his armpit and traveled down his body. And he died on the 1st day of a 30 day campaign on iwo jima. If you want to see more about that battle i highly recommend “flags of father’s” an American perspective of the famous flag raising picture and the Japanese perspective with “letters from Iwo Jima” showing the preparation and later how they defended the island.
