I have used Gung-Ho to welcome you to my personal Web site because it characterizes what these pages are all about. The United States Marine Raiders. The word from the Chinese means literally "Work together," but has been corrupted to mean some thing less.

The Raiders understood the meaning of the word and lived out "work together" in training and combat. However, they would define it another way, "lookout for the man on your right and the man on your left." They realized nothing was of more importance in any life situation and it remains deeply ingrained in their character today.

Author in the Corps & Korea!

MY PURPOSE

There exist today official histories of Marine Raider operations as well fictional and nonfictional accounts of their activities.  I am not qualified, neither is it my intention to supplement such histories and records. These pages are personal, based entirely on my reaction and evaluation of events in my experience as I witnessed them, understood them and remember them. Supplemental information is provided from various sources in the public domain.
