Basilone Bowl returns once more to Somerset County in 2021.

He refused a comfortable and safe stateside tour promoting the war effort and went back to fight in the Iwo Jima campaign, where he was Killed In Action at age 28 on Feb. 19, 1945. He was awarded the Navy Cross for his actions, the only enlisted Marine during the war two earn both decorations. (U.S. Marine Corps motion imagery by Cpl. Kameron Herndon)
