New Raider Pictures

We received some great Raider pictures and information that we are happy to share with you!

From Suzanne (Veldhuis) Henley 

Below is a photo of Weldon Odell Stautzenberger, or as his fellow Marines called him "Stautz". He saved my father's life on April 15, 1945 at Okinawa. Dad's name was Cornelius "Red" Veldhuis and he was from South Holland, Illinois. I had seen on the website where Blair Stautzenberger had sent photos in, he may enjoy this one. Odell sent my Dad his address book from WWII shortly before Dad passed away in 1996. If I can find it, I would like to return it to Blair

From Cindi Sweet Hoveland

here are a few of the pics out of my dads photo album, the first is his 1942 Marine Corp unit, the next is a friend that he identifies as Jonesy, but in a letter he says he calls him 'jackson'.

The next is identified only as 'father redmund'. [Editors Note: As all Raiders will know, this is Father Redmond, beloved Raider Chaplain.] The last is one that my dad took, (of the man and dog) and then I also found it in a book of the 6th marine Division, w/o the tree branch in it, interesting but true!
