Col. Evans Carlson who was the son of Evans F. Carlson the commanding officer of the WW II 2nd Marine Raider Battalion.
I met these Marine Raiders at a Raider Reunion in Washington D.C. In August of 2001 just one month before the attack on our Nation at New York City and Washington D. C. as well as the terrorist plane crash in Shanksville Pennsylvania attack of 9-11-2001.
This reunion is where I also met Bill’s former Co. Commander Capt. John Sweeney from Guadalcanal and probably on New Georgia island in the Solomon Islands.
