I don't think we will, we have some of these already there and all of them might be too many. I love all these Raider pics just because it's really cool to see the Marine Battalion that we took our name from. These guys were bad ass commandos that were first to land and assault most of the islands in the pacific. Pictures like these really help put an image to the story we know abut them.
