My name is Seth Dix. I am the grandson of the origonal 1st Raider, James Dix. I have looked at this page and I am very impressed. However, I notice that there are many people asking simular questions about there kinfolks. Many have asked is there any information or is there anybody out there who remembers? Well I can certainly say I can answer many of these questions. I am proud to say I am the youngest Honarary member in both the United Marine Raiders Association and Edson's Raiders Association. If anybody would like there questions to be answered I may be of some assistance. Great site, keep up the splendid work

Glad to have you, and my thanks for your offer to assist. I am not a former raider, myself--just a boot--1952--1972.

I usually forward most of the requests/inquiries over to Dan Marsh (who is a Raider). BGen Carlson's grand daughter has also indicated her willingness to help, too.

Semper Fidelis, and...
Gung Ho!
