How sad to hear of another hero succumbing to old age. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
My goodness, your uncle Ray must of been well into his 90s or even older. Time is always too short it seems. I love to hear the tales of men like this. My father still reveals secrets of when he was in the Pusan Offensive in Korea. If not for those wounds he suffered, he would have never met mom in the hospital. God works in mysterious ways, no?
He did not make it off the island is the way I read the post.
He actually never made it TO the island:( He was killed in the surf trying to get ashore....... like sooo many others.
Where is the post? I recall reading his passing in 2014.
This post. "During the landing"
Alright, my error. Flipping screens must of got my wires crossed. Nevertheless, a beautiful soul lost to tragic war. How sad. Imagine the grieving family and loved ones.
