“Raider Battalions are operational.”

That’s damn interesting. We had a Marine Raider member at our American Legion post. He did the Guadalcanal tour back in 1943. (For those who aren’t familiar with USMC history, the Raiders were disbanded after Guadalcanal, on January, 1944.)

Here’s the link:

Check out the Raiders’ patch.
