Both Jack & Flo have served the
Raider Association faithfully for years, he will be greatly missed
by all of us. God bless you Flo and family! Here's a

Looking
for information on Raider family members? Well now

Rudy Rosenquist,George MacRae, and Robert
Whichard; all of whom work with the Raider Museum - you can! Click
Here to find out how.
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.

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.
