To a very special man and dad that I never had the pleasure of knowing. I've heard so many wonderful stories about him from family as well as friends. I know if he was still alive, I would cherish our father and daughter relationship. But in his place I found the perfect man who loves me unconditionally. I will also one day be able to dance with my father again. The only memories I have is of old pictures he took while on active duty. After all these years I sometimes find myself talking to him as if he was actually here. I would get caught in a particular situation and say "Now daddy, what would you do/say about this?". He has a few off-spring from his daughter of whom he would be proud.

I just learned (through a search) that my childhood friend John Rabideau was killed in action the same day as Charles Ray. They served together, they fell together. John has never been forgotten... I now will always remember Charles. They made the ultimate sacrifice for us.
