Merrill's Marauders to receive Congressional Gold Medal.







The 5307 Composite Unit (Provisional), know by most as Merrill's Marauders, have been awarded a Congressional Gold Medal, an award honoring collective heroic achievements.  The 5307th famously served in deep penetration raids in the China Burma India Theatre during World War Two.

Only eight men of the unit remain alive today.
