The first and last name to come to mind when discussing the most decorated Marine in Vietnam is Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone. A true American hero, Basilone served valiantly in the Pacific Theater during World War II and was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism. During Vietnam, he was credited with saving the lives of countless Marines and earned numerous medals, including two Purple Hearts, the Presidential Unit Citation, the Navy Cross, and the Navy and Marine Corps Medal. But while his story is well-known, there are many other Marines who served in Vietnam who earned decorations, honors, and citations for their courage and valor.
The Vietnam War was a long and bloody conflict that took the lives of nearly 60,000 Americans. Many of those who served during the war were Marines, who went above and beyond the call of duty to protect their fellow servicemen and women. Of these brave men and women, there were some who earned recognition for their actions, becoming known as the “most decorated Marines” of the Vietnam War. These Marines were honored for their heroism and selflessness in the face of danger, and this article will discuss the stories of five of them.
