The memorial presents a group of WWII U.S. Marine Raiders tackling sloped terrain in the jungles of the Pacific. At right, a Navajo Code Talker quickly relays information on forward operations before his radio signal is picked up by the Japanese. Ahead, a Marine and his German Shepherd scout the dense foliage to avoid a potential ambush. At the ready, the Marine Raider holds his Browning Automatic Rifle close to his chest while keeping an eye out for snipers hidden in the trees. The panel behind the three men serves to provide a visual context of place with additional Raiders visible through the vegetation. The work embodies the Marine Raiders working together with conviction, cooperation, and commitment to succeed in their mission.
