Rest in peace, Ray.
Posted for: RAYMOND M DASILVA JR:
It's been close to 40 years Ray since we called fire. Seems like yesterday. Even tho you were with our FO Team only a short time we sure did miss you. We had so much fun smelling all your girlfriends letters. They smelled so good. Made us think of those we left behind. Sure wish you would have made it home, as we did. We'll have alot to make up when my days are up & once again we will be together. Till then Little Buddy. SEMPER FI, Gary

Roni, If you see this post, please email me. I have a pic I took of our team shortly before Ray died. Gary
