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.
