Yes, Manila John's wife. Sargent, later Gunny, John Basilone won "The Medal" on Guadalcanal. He and Lena were portrayed fairly well in the HBO series "The Pacific."

Semper Fi!

Gunny John.

PS. I watched "The Pacific" once - had to - I will never watch it again. GJ

("Good Lord, young man. Didn't they teach you anything in the Marines?"

"Yes, M'am. They taught me to kill Japs; and I got damned good at it.")
