THE WALL OF FACES

Fellow Papa Company Rangers and the surviving team member tell stories about him in the documentary DVD " Painted Warriors - Rangers on the DMZ ". You may be gone but you are not forgotten.

I knew Ray when we were at Quang Tri Combat Base. He and several other rangers would visit out club and the mini club in MICKEYS in the TSGT hooch. Ray, peace my friend and God Bless. Willie,Det3 620th TCS (USAF) "PAMPER"

I will always remember the stories I got to hear as I was growing up about how handsome and brave you were. Grandpa and Grandma never let us forget about you. Although I never knew you I always knew about you.

I wish that I could have met you as well as your father. I am married to your brother who was born 3 years after your passing. He was named after you, and he is a wonderful man. They say he looks just like you, and we still have your uniform. I know that you cant read this, but Im sending out a prayer your way...... with love ray and marion apellido

It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters. Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die
