[edit] Basilone not the 1st Medal of Honor winner

Basilone was awarded his MOH for actions that occured on 24-25 October 1942. The first MOH awarded was actually to a Sgt Clyde Thomason of the 2nd Raider Battalion in August of 1942 during the Makin Raid. I think the myth spread because Basilone was actually awarded his first and also because it tends to lend itself to the legend.--Looper5920 22:57, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Where is the verification for Bridgewater-Raritan High School being renamed for John Basilone? I attended BRHS for four years, after 1995, and as far as I know no one EVER called it Basilone High School. Maybe they were thinking of renaming the school when it was rebuilt, which doesn't surprise me, but I don't think it actually happened.--Rskovacs 24:21, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
