Hermanus Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Any idea what the career of brigadier Raisch was? Link to post Share on other sites
uniformcollector Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 The General is actually a friend of mine. He definitely had quite the career and is proud to be a Marine. Even today, he hangs a one-star flag in front of his house. Below is the bio I wrote for his page on my website along with a photo of him: Robert S. Raisch was born December 8, 1929 in Detroit, Michigan. He joined the Holloway V-S program in 1947 and also attended Duke University to receive his major in mechanical engineering. He was commissioned into the USMC Reserve in 1951. His commands include the Headquarters Squadron at Grosse Ile (Michigan) and the Selfridge Air National Guard Base. The position at Selfridge Air National Guard Base was created because and for him. He served in the Korean War and was awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses for his service in the Marine Fighting Squadron 224. He retired in 1980 as a Brigadier General.

PaulR Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I found this beautiful set at a small local show last November. I typically only do CG groups, but the campaign medal combination and the nice price were too much to pass up. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/usmfribbons/donation2012.gif Link to post Share on other sites

USMCR79 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Not so funny story on those 2 groups - they had been hanging on the wall of my "Cave" for about 20 years until last weekend and due to the cold in Florida a block wall contracted and the panelling buckled. Three frames of medals came crashing down - fortunately the frames broke but the medals were not harmed. I thought I would take some photos before I put these medal groups in Riker mounts. Glad you guys like them R/Bill "The Americans on this Island are not ordinary troops, but Marines, a special force recruited from jails and insane asylums for blood lust." -Japanese Newspaper found during the Battle of Guadalcanal - "They Got That Right!!"
