After being canceled last year due to rain, the only parade in the country that honors a war hero is returning to Raritan. The annual John Basilone Parade honoring former Raritan resident, World War II hero and Marine John Basilone will take place at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 22.
Basilone received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his gallant efforts during the Battle of Guadalcanal in 1942, when during brutal fighting with heavy casualties on both sides, he killed at least 38 Japanese soldiers. He was later awarded the Navy Cross posthumously for more heroism in the Battle of Iwo Jima, where he was killed in 1945. Basilone is the only Marine ever to have received both awards.
