WWII Marine Raider shares his stories with Marines from 1st Marine Raider Battalion

It was humid and hot inside the courtyard of The Chateau at Harveston, so 92-year old veteran Charles J. Kundert sat in the shade and watched as the color guard from 1st Marine Raider Support Battalion presented the colors.

Kundert was visited by members of 1st Marine Raider Battalion on June 11, 2019 to honor his service as a Marine Raider during World War II.

“Mr. Kundert embodies Spiritus Invictus, meeting one of the original raiders of World War II was both an inspiration and truly an honor,” said a Marine Raider present at the event who asked to remain anonymous due to security concerns.
