I met Ray when we both were assigned to 2nd Plt, K Trp at Ft. Meade, Md.  I was not with the Cav when he died and am sorry that I could not be with him.  good friend and a good man.

Ray was a good going young man, caught up in a place, that none of us wanted to be in but he didn't reject his duty.  He did the job he was asked to do and he was a good GI.  The war in Vietnam brought all of us together and then torn most of our friends apart.  I'll never forget him.
