The true story behind the character depicted in HBO's critically acclaimed, award-winning miniseries, The Pacific

I'm Staying with My Boys is a firsthand look inside the life of one of the greatest heroes of the Greatest Generation. Sgt. John Basilone held off 3,000 Japanese troops at Guadalcanal after his 15-member unit was reduced to three men. At Iwo Jima he single-handedly destroyed an enemy blockhouse, allowing his unit to capture an airfield. Minutes later he was killed by an enemy artillery round. He was the only Marine in World War II to have received the Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross, and a Purple Heart and is arguably the most famous Marine of all time.

I'm Staying with My Boys is the only family-authorized biography of Basilone, and it features photographs never before published. Distinctive among military biographies, the story is told in first person, allowing readers to experience his transformation, forged in the horrors of battle, from aimless youth to war hero known as Manila John.

A little difficult to read.
Color: GMT Blue
Very good watch, but I would have liked it to be bigger, about 43 mm, a little difficult to read.

Excellent Watch
Color: Gold Silver-G8408
I don't know why this watch is getting a less than perfect rating from others. I purchased this watch legit to make sure my son got out of the shower at the gym on time to get where he is going. LOL It is classy, elegant and yes, has been exposed to sweat, water and soap extensively, and still looks fantastic. He is getting the black one next.

looks good but is unreliable; replacement coming
Color: Gold Blue-G8408
Update: The company reached out to me and offered me either a refund or a replacement watch. I bumped my rating up by two stars for that good customer service, and I'll provide another update once I have the replacement and see how it works. This watch looks great, was a good price, and I enjoy wearing it. The problem is that it keeps stopping. An unreliable watch is a big problem. Unfortunately, I was out of the country and didn't get to return it in time before the return window closed. If it worked properly, I would have given it a five-star rating.
