Handpicked for their toughness and submitted to a rigorous training program to weed out those less fit, they were the best of the best.For two hellish nights in September 1942, about 840 marines--commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Merritt Austin Red Mike Edson--fought one of the most pivotal battles of World War I in the Pacific, clinging desperately to their position on what would soon be known as Bloody Ridge.Wave after wave of attacking Japanese soldiers were repelled by the Raiders, who knew that defeat and retreat were simply not options.
