This year marks the 75th anniversary of the legendary World War II battle Marine Raiders fought in Guadalcanal.
The MARSOC Foundation recently learned that several Marine Raiders from the “Greatest Generation” need financial assistance to reunite at the annual Marine Raiders Reunion in San Diego, CA.
These WW II heroes are over ninety-five years young and on fixed incomes. They need our assistance to offset the high cost of travel. Please help support bringing the World War II Marine Raiders together to mark the historic battle of “Bloody Ridge.”
There are three ways to get involved:
1. Make a donation to the MARSOC Foundation: marsocfoundation.org/donate
2. Send a tax deductible check to the MARSOC Foundation:
To donate by check, please make checks payable to:

The MARSOC Foundation hopes that leaders in the firearms can make a contribution to support this event or donate a weapon to our annual Scottsdale Gun Club charity auction for the MARSOC Foundation. Your contribution will help preserve the legacy of these great American Heroes and recognize their tremendous sacrifice for our Nation. They hope that you can get involved and assist them with this request.
