Dear Uncle Ray, It has been 38 years this April that you have passed. It has taken this long, but the family has finally gotten answers about what had happened that terrible day April 5, 1970. We are all so proud of you. You are a true hero who gave the ultimate sacrifice for your country. Your sisters Audrey, Janie, Kathy and brother Chris and all of your nieces and nephews will always keep your memory alive. We are so grateful to the wonderful men of your unit, F Troop 8th Cavalry, Americal Division ... the "Blue Ghosts". They have been so helpful to our family and we will always be grateful to them. We have also met some of your close buddies. I know that you already know, but your dog tags have just been sent home also. The family is at peace now. We will never forget you.
Your niece, |
