Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation
is previewing its online auction
The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation auction is now open and will remain open until March 2, at 5pm Pacific Standard Time.
In addition to perusing the unique auction items, we ask you to consider making a contribution to our Fund-A-Future Campaign honoring the memory of LtCol Christopher K. “Otis” Raible USMC, who was killed in action in 2012 as part of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. In September of 2012, LtCol Raible was in command of Marine Attack Squadron 211, also known as the VMA-211 Avengers. Deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, LtCol Raible and his fellow Avengers had been in country just over five months when insurgents launched a coordinated attack on their position and breached the base at Camp Bastion. Running toward the sound of gunfire and armed with no more than his pistol, Raible was among the first to engage the enemy. He moved decisively to organize an immediate defense and launch a counter attack against the Taliban infiltrators. While engaged, LtCol Raible and one of his men, Sgt Bradley Atwell, were killed by explosions of rocket-propelled grenades.
