You have to watch the HBO series to appreciate the story of his life and all the other Marines portrayed in this series . It was also based on the books by, Bob Lecki ( Helmet for my pillow), Eugene Sledge ( Black sands old Breed). John Basilone, who received the MOH for his action on Guadalcanal. He was killed on Iwo Jima. Anyone wanting to be a Marine ought to watch this series. They will have a better idea what the Corp is about. I have watched "Pacific" many times and I enjoy it more every time I watch it. Semper Fi.
