Hymn to a Raider Priest By: Elmer Mapes - 2nd Raider Battalion From the halls of great cathedrals To the makeshift jungle Mass He has served his Lord in every place As the bravest in his class. Where the Raiders of Marines had fought He was there in combat hot Blessing him who gave his very life Calming wounded on the spot. Through the inspiration of this priest Raiders all were at their best He has carried on, though last to fight He has passed his every test. If the army and the navy Ever look on heaven's scenes They will find our Padre Redmond Greeting all his beloved Marines.	(since 1/4/00)
