  • some marines never got off the island

  • I have been looking for a documentary on Evans Carlson and the 2nd Raider BN. Thanks for posting.

  • reply frm navilluswp to sergaiey:

    I didn't write those words ; they are the last four lines of the MARINE CORPS HYMN.

    You can check with any MARINE - who understood my reference without this explanation.

    Carry on.

  • President Roosevelt's son was on this mission

  • Semper Fi

  • My Great Uncle was one of those Marine Raiders who died on Makin. I am proud to see all these videos dedicated to the memory of these men. ( PFC Ashely Hicks ) Semper Fi

  • Ahoy Raiders! Semper Fi!

  • I was dismayed to hear The Commandant say that Sgt. Thomason "won" the MoH..... The MoH is AWARDED, not "won." It's not a trophy.

    By the way, if the Army and the Navy ever gaze on Heaven's scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by UNITED STATES MARINES.

  • What makes you think,that just the Marines gaurd the streets of heaven.Every service has it's hero's,and they all fought for the same porpose.

    Iv'e been in war,and the Army at that. Iv'e seen the same fear on a Marines face,just like those men in the Army and all fighting not for the glory.But just to keep one another alive

  • All i have to say is we are in times of trouble, Goldman Sacks, JP.Morgan, B of A, Bank of England, Bush, Clinton and Obama are trying to distroy the Constitution of the USA, Remember who the the people are that want this country!

    Do not take up arms against the Constitution, Defend it!

    Semper FI,

  • @navilluswp The USMC is a branch of The United States Navy, Jackass show some respect for your fellow servicemen. Rediculous.

  • As all Marines know it is an honor to escort the fallen Marines. Job well done.

    Semper Fi

  • I was not aware that marine and soldier were not synonymous-my bad. They all served and should not be forgotten!

  • Always remembered and never forgotten. May the good GOD Hold them in the Hollow of His Hands forever.

    Semper Fi

  • Makin Island LHD8 best damn ship in the US Navy and Im proud to be apart of her first crew. The show this video when we check in really good video that shows our heritage.

  • I really enjoyed watching this video (both #1 & #2) on You Tube. My namesake/uncle, Pfc. William A. Gallagher, was one of the August 17, 1942 KIAs that was found and buried at Arlington Cemetery some 59 years later. Bryan Quirk and Julius Cotten do a fine job telling about this historic rate...and the U.S.S. Makin Island is wonderful tribute to these great WWII heroes.

  • The Marine Raiders (Scouts@Raiders-Carlson and Edson) were the best of the best and they're legacy still is driving today! SEAL's and Marine Recon !! Semper Fi
