Raider Merrill attended our Resiliency and Remembrance Event two years ago in San Diego - it was an honor to meet this man who was larger than life. Sir, you will be missed by many...never forgotten.One more of the incomparable Mudhole Merrill. As fitting a Raider, he made his final exfil in the hours of darkness, 12 November 18. Gung Ho, Semper Fidelis, and Fair Winds and Following Seas, Raider.

For those in the area:

The funeral will be held this Saturday in Mesa, AZ.
