Sgt. John Basilone a.k.a. Manila John

[Basilone]

Good day everyone,

I have reached out to a couple individuals regarding John Basilone items that I saw posted a couple years ago but have reached some dead ends. While I do understand that items pertaining to John are rare I am searching for anything or anyone who many have items. While I do not expect anyone to "hand over" prized possessions I am willing to pay for the items.

A lot of what remains from John is in museums, his Medal of Honor for example (where it should be in my opinion). Thus, the family is in search of smaller items such as original photographs, autographs, etc.

Please keep me in mind if you ever stumble across anything, if you have anything, or know anybody with any items.

Thank you in advance,
Jaclyn Basilone Smith
