Why I am a Marauder

I'm a lucky guy! As soon as I gained perspective of the Marauder's mission while working with them in an online capacity, I was caught by the heartstrings thereof.

Danny Gargus

My interest in WWII history began as I researched some of the information my uncle V.P. Gargus reluctantly shared about his military service during WWII. He was a B-24 nose-gunner on several important missions, one of them being the Ploesti Oil Field Raids.

Experiencing my uncle's reluctance to share many details of his stories demonstrates that the pain is still there even after all these years.

As a witness to his pain, I am driven to help other WWII MIA families with closure by  being a member of  Moore's Marauders ' Technical Support Team.
