Subject: GESO: John Basilone Parade
Nestled between the town in which I work and the township in which we
live is the little Borough of Raritan, NJ, where the North Branch, the
South Branch and the Raritan Power Canal merge to form the Old Raritan
River.
It is distinguished today mostly as the home of Ortho Pharmaceuticals,
one of the divisions of Johnson and Johnson. It's main claim to fame,
however, still is as the home town of John Basilone, Marine hero of
World War II. This weekend was the annual Basilone weekend in
Raritan, with races on Saturday,aI concert by the Quantico Marine
Corps Band at the community college and fireworks on Saturday night,
and a big parade on Sunday. To give you an idea of the parade, there
were eight bagpipe and drum bands, not to mention the three high
school bands, two middle school band, the Qantico Band, several fife
and drum corps, and numerous military and veteran units (as well as a
large Rolling Thunder contingent). John Seda, who played Sgt Basilone
in The Pacific, was one of many honored guests riding in convertibles.
The parade lasted two hours before the long line of fire and rescue
truck streamed down Somerset Street.
