Unki kahani sirf ek Marines hero ki nahi hai, balki ek aise veer ki hai jo apne desh ke liye sab kuch nyochhawar karne ke liye tayar tha. Lekin, kai log ye jaanna chahte hain ki John Basilone ko aakhir aakhri vishram kahaan mila? Aaj hum is article ke madhyam se jaanenge ki John Basilone ki antim aramgah kahaan hai aur unki virasat kis tarah se aaj bhi zinda hai.
John Basilone ka janm 4 November 1916 ko Buffalo, New York mein hua tha, lekin unka palan-poshan Raritan, New Jersey mein hua. Ek samay unhone United States Army mein seva di, par unka naam tab bana jab unhone United States Marine Corps mein bharti li aur World War II ke dauraan apni shaurya gatha likhi. Unka naam Guadalcanal Campaign mein Medal of Honor jeetne wale kuch ginte-chune sipahiyon mein aata hai. Unke adbhut sahas aur leadership ne unhe ek national hero bana diya.
Lekin John Basilone ka yudh yahi samapt nahi hua. Unhone Medal of Honor jeetne ke baad bhi military duty chhodne se inkaar kar diya aur wapas Iwo Jima ke maidan mein jaane ka faisla kiya. Ye wahi yudh tha jisme 19 February 1945 ko veer John Basilone ne apni jaan gawa di. Battle of Iwo Jima ek aise samay mein ladi gayi thi jab Japanese forces ne apne morche mazboot bana rakhe the aur yeh ek kathin ladaai sabit hui. Lekin is yudh ke dauraan bhi John Basilone ne apni shaurya ka pradarshan kiya aur apni troop ki madad karte rahe jab tak ve ek mortar blast mein shaheed nahi ho gaye.
Jab ek desh ka sapoot apni jaan desh ke liye kurbaan karta hai, toh uska antim vishram bhi ek sammanit jagah par hota hai. John Basilone ko Arlington National Cemetery mein dafnaya gaya, jo Virginia mein sthit hai. Arlington National Cemetery ek aisi jagah hai jahan America ke sabse mahan veeron ko antim vishram diya jata hai. Yeh ek pavitra bhoomi hai jisme military heroes, presidents, aur national leaders ki kabrein hain. John Basilone ki kabar yahan ek smarak ke roop mein hai jo aaj bhi unke balidan ki kahani sunata hai.
John Basilone ki antim aramgah Section 12, Grave 384 mein hai jo ki Arlington National Cemetery mein ek pavitra sthaan hai. Har saal yahan hazaron log aate hain jo unka samman karna chahte hain aur unke balidan ke prati apni shraddhanjali dete hain. Yahan aakar har ek insaan ko yeh ehsaas hota hai ki jo suvidha aur aazadi hum aaj jee rahe hain, wo inhi veeron ke balidan ka parinaam hai.
Aaj bhi John Basilone ki yaad military history books, films, aur memorials ke madhyam se zinda hai. Unka naam Marines Corps ki training manuals aur unki kahaniyon mein shamil kiya jata hai taaki naye sipahi unse prerit ho sakein. Raritan, New Jersey mein unke naam par har saal ek John Basilone Memorial Parade hoti hai jisme log unka samman karte hain aur unke veerta ko yaad karte hain.
John Basilone ek naam nahi, balki ek prerna hain jo har uss vyakti ko yeh sikhate hain ki deshbhakti kya hoti hai. Unki kabar sirf ek jagah nahi, balki ek smarak hai jo har naye Marine ko yeh yaad dilata hai ki America ki suraksha ke liye kitne balidan diye gaye hain. Unki antim vishramsthali ek aisi jagah hai jo hamesha unke sahas aur balidan ki yaad dilati rahegi.
