Other Comments:
As a mere children growing up in Birmingham, Alabama in the early 1950's, then Major Schrier and his wife were next door neighbors to my brother and I.
Childless, they more or less adopted my brother and I as their own.
The Marine Raiders were elite units established by the United States Marine Corps during World War II to conduct special amphibious light infantry warfare, particularly in landing in rubber boats and operating behind the lines. "Edson's" Raiders of 1st Marine Raiders Battalion and "Carlson's" Raiders of 2nd Marine Raiders Battalion are said to be the first United States special operations forces to form and see combat in World War II.
