The phrase “the few, theproud, the Marines” has aspecial meaning for a groupof Korean War veterans whoheld their annual reunion inGrand Chenier last week.“Monk's Raiders,” the 1stMarine Division AmmoCompany led by Charles“Monk” Arndt, are gettingolder and fewer as the yearsgo by, but the pride is stillthere.

“We aren't formerMarines,” said John Richard,host of this year's reunion,“we are just Marines. Likethey say, once a Marine,always a Marine.”

The men are also proud oftheir leader. Monk Arndt isthe last survivor of the firstU. S. offensive onGuadalcanal in World WarII. Of the 24 men who set outon a largely humanitarianmission in August, 1942,only three survived, two ofwhom have since passedaway. Monk is still goingstrong at 89, however.

“He's in better shape thanall of us,” says Richard. “Hedrove his motor home with acar behind it from Columbus,Miss.”

Monk, nick-named for hisagility in running up acoconut tree in Puerto Ricoin 1939, was an intelligence

scout in WWII and saw muchmore action on Guadalcanal.

According to an articlewritten by Tom McLeod, his-torian for the 1st MarineDivision, he went on 22 solointelligence gathering mis-sions behind enemy lines.One mission lasted twoweeks and covered 25 miles,during which Monk lived offthe land, only taking withhim one pound of raisins.

Being a small man, only5'4” and 125 pounds, oncesaved his life, wrote McLeod,as he was able to crawlunder a fallen tree to hidefrom an “entire Japanesecompany that ran over andpast him.”

Size meant nothing to themen of the ammo company towhich he was attached dur-ing the Korean Conflict. At31 he was considered an “oldman” by the 15-19 year oldsassigned to the companyfrom 1950-53.

John Richard was one ofthose young men. Richardsays, “If he told us to take ahill, even though we thoughtwe would all die, we went;we all worshiped him somuch.”

They were called the“Frozen Few,” because theyhad to endure temperaturesas low as minus 53 degrees

Older Americans Monthproclaimed by Governor

May has been proclaimedas Older Americans Monthby Gov. Bobby Jindal, accord-ing to Dinah Landry, directorof the Cameron Council onAging. The proclamationreads in part:

Our older citizenspromise to be among themost active and engagedolder adult populations inour Nation’s history.

It is the responsibility ofcommunities to work togeth-er and prepare for changingolder adult populations bymodernizing systems of care

and providing consumerswith more control over theirlives.

Overall quality of life canbe greatly enhanced whensupportive communities helptheir older citizens obtainevidence-based approachesto making behavioralchanges that can reduce riskof disease, disability, andinjury and the tools to makeinformed decisions about,and gain better access to,existing health and long-term care options.

MARINESCont. from Pg. 1while establishing an ammodump at a reservoir in north-ern Korea. The base was sur-rounded by 20 Chinese divi-sions. “Every one of us hadfrostbite. Some were evacu-ated, some were not, but allthe survivors suffer from theeffects of the elementstoday,” Monk says.

McLeod's article in TheOld Breed News, the divisionnewsletter, quotes Monk assaying, “We would seeCorsairs drop napalm bombson the hills around us. Afterthe explosion and ensuingfire, Chinese forces wouldrush into the area to warmthemselves.”

Monk was just as proud ofhis Marines as they are ofhim. “They could moveammo; they could move amountain if they wereturned loose. They are trulylike brothers.” He saysRichard was the company“procurement specialist,”who acquired necessary sup-plies and equipment. “TheArmy was pretty well sup-plied, but the Marines not sowell. John got what we need-ed, legal or not”

Monk retired from theactive military in 1964, andafter 4 years in the reservesgot his 30 year pin in 1968.He jokes that even thoughthe men of Monk's Raiderscall him the “old man,” theyare catching up quickly.

Marine veterans, some inwheelchairs, came fromCalifornia, Massachusetts,Florida, Michigan, Nevada,Virginia, Arkansas,Kentucky, Texas, Tennessee,and Louisiana to meet withtheir leader and share sto-ries, good food and a goodtime on the bank of theMermentau River.

The veterans, aged 78 to89, have met in places likeVirginia Beach, Biloxi,Kansas City, andWilmington, North Carolina,but this year Richard offeredto host them at ArmandRichard's camp. They grouparrived in Lake Charles onWednesday, May 21, andwere met by CalcasieuParish District AttorneyJohn Derosier, himself aMarine veteran. They pro-ceeded by charter bus toGrand Chenier for a crab,shrimp, and crawfish boil.Cameron Parish Clerk ofCourt Carl Broussard was onhand to greet them.

Music and fun were pro-vided by a group of localscalling themselves the “MayMarine Mardi Gras” crewe,organized by Melba Trahan.Cameron Parish Registrar ofVoters Suzanne Sturlese saidthey wanted to give a taste of

Mardi Gras to visitors fromout of state who have neverexperienced it.

They wore costumes, gaveaway beads, danced and gen-erally clowned around, to thedelight (and amazement) ofthe guests. Veteran J. J. Tefftsaid it was the best reunionthey have ever had. His voicefilled with emotion, he said,“I want the people here toknow how much this meansto us guys, it is incredible,the cap of our lives.”

John and Kitty Richardhad a lot of help in puttingon the reunion. Theythanked Jared LaBove,David Dimas, RonaldDupuis, Doody LaBove,Cindy LaBove, and CarmenDimas for helping with thefood, which also includedbrisket, roast chicken, ricedressing “like Mama used tomake” and all the trim-mings.

Members of the Crewewere Melba Trahan, RonaldDupuis, Suzanne Sturlese,Christa Richard, Nina Jones,Kathy Richard Abshire,Diane Richard Benson, LynnRichard LaBove, and IvyLeBoeuf.

The state has $1 billion torun the first program, a flat$30,000 grant for most appli-cants as part of the largerRoad Home rebuilding effort.Louisiana also got $750 mil-lion from FEMA to run a sec-ond program as a reimburse-ment for as much as $30,000in additional elevation costs.

Returning the forms does-n't guarantee a grant anddoesn't obligate the home-owner to elevate, but thestate said it needed a clear

gauge of applicants' interestin the programs and howmuch money will be needed.

"Elevation is the corner-stone to rebuilding ourhomes safer and stronger,"said Paul Rainwater, theLouisiana RecoveryAuthority executive director.

But the elevation pro-grams haven't always beenthe state's focus -- the RoadHome froze all elevation pay-ments for more than a yearbecause of a budget crunch --and some applicants who saythey're still waiting for themail packets are worriedabout the new deadline.

"I have stopped all workon my home because I can'tgo any further until I get theelevation money to raise myhouse," said Debra Turner, aRoad Home applicant fromLake Charles. "So, what do Ido now? When do I get myletter? The deadline is June16? I can't understand whatis going on with the RoadHome program."

Ghislaine Hegarty, whowants to rebuild herLakeview home of 55 years,also is still waiting. She saidprogram officials told her towait another week for thepacket to arrive in the mail,which would give her abouttwo weeks to respond.

Any Road Home applicant

who thinks he or she is eligi-ble for elevation assistanceand hasn't yet received thedocuments should call thestate's Elevation TechnicalAssistance toll-free hotlineat 1 (877) 234-1513, officialssaid.

The first Road Home ele-vation grant program pays$30,000 for stick-built homesand $20,000 for mobilehomes. Recipients mustagree to use the money toraise their homes above thelevel set in local or base floodelevation standards.

But many applicants inthe flood plain are unlikelyto select the grant if they areselling their home, repairinga home that is already ele-vated or can't afford addi-tional out-of-pocket costs toraise the house.

The second pot of eleva-tion money comes from theFederal EmergencyManagement Agency'sHazard Mitigation GrantProgram, or HMGP. It is areimbursement program,with payments availableafter work is completed.

The state expects 22,000homeowners to select thatoption. Signing the ElevationIncentive Form or theHMGP Award Form to showinterest in landing assis-tance will not compromiseanyone's right to appeal therest of a Road Home grant,said Christina Stephens,spokeswoman for the stateagencies overseeing RoadHome.

Language in another partof the packet had raised con-cerns that participating inelevation programs wouldnullify any pending RoadHome appeals. A portion ofthe agreement that partici-pants eventually must signincludes an acknowledgmentthat all Road Home appeals"have concluded."

The state said that wasonly intended to ensure thatelevation grants are paidafter all appeals are com-plete, to make sure nobodygets more than the maxi-mum $150,000.

Louis LaCour Jr., anappellate lawyer and RoadHome applicant, called thestate's argument for the lan-guage "foolish" and said itmust be changed. But hesaid that shouldn't be animpediment to people sign-ing the preliminary forms tomeet the June 16 deadline.
