I was the squad leader of the first squad of the first platoon. A handful of Raiders enjoyed a reunion in El Paso last year during the 50th Anniversary year of the Korean War. During May 2001 another reunion is being planned by retired Sergeant Major Billy Oneyear in Colorado Springs. Anyone knowing a former Raider--let him know. I will be happy to pass along specifics to members. The Raider Company was filled with top notch, cream of the crop'All Volunteer' soldiers from General McArthurs headquarters in Tokyo Japan.
