Foundation Projects

Memorial Bricks for Raider KIAs: There were 889 Marine Raiders killed in action (KIA) during WWII. The U. S. Marine Raider Association initiated a memorial brick program which provides an opportunity for individuals to honor friends and relatives by purchasing a laser inscribed memorial brick. The U. S. Marine Raider Foundation has undertaken the job of insuring that each and every Marine Raider KIA is recognized by having their own brick. You can assist in this project by donating $100.00 per brick for as many of these heroes you wish to honor.

Scholarship Program: Honoring Jacob Vouza, a native from the Solomon Islands who was of unwavering assistance to the Marine Raiders during WWII, a scholarship program was established in his name for native born children in the Solomon Islands. Join us in continuing and expanding this scholarship program to deserving students. A donation of $350.00 funds a year of school for a very deserving student.

Bronze Statue: Hats are great, but Marine Raiders of WWII want to share more than a hat with future generations by erecting a permanent bronze statue at Raider Hall in Quantico, VA. Obtaining funding for a bronze statue is a challenging undertaking but one that Marine Raiders think is important to help build patriotism in future generations. Please honor these brave soldiers by making a donation of any amount to insure that this statue is completed.

Speaker Forums/Memorial Visitations: Many have only a cursory knowledge of WWII, most often obtained through history books and/or glorified television programming. Help us all better understand this aspect of our history by funding speaker forums and memorial visitations for those remaining Marine Raider veterans who protected our country and way of life in WWII. Your donation will provide an opportunity for these veterans, while they are still with us, to participate and share their personal history through first-hand accounts of their activities and experiences.
