What's your Memorial Day plan?

 


Lionel LeJeune of Basile tells St. Edmund Catholic High School students, from left, Adam Schatzle, Cole Hebert, Launey Arnaud and Austin Lafleur about his experiences as a U.S. Marines’ island-hopping campaigns in the South Pacific during World War II. He holds the Purple Heart (stabbed in the throat with a bayonet by a Japanese soldier during hand-to-hand combat) and the Bronze Star for valor. Among his recollections were his landing craft being grounded in the surf off of Guadalcanal and having to wade ashore as part of the invading force while bullets like invisible bees buzzed around him. LeJeune is 90.
