POSTED ON 8.25.2014 POSTED BY: PATRICK "SPIDER"RAINES. EX ROYAL NAVY/US NAVY.
THANK YOU TO A SOLDIER NAMED RAINES.
I did not know you, but as a Royal Navy "Stoker" I served on USS Claude V. Ricketts, DDG 5 as part of the NATO Mixed Manning Demonstration, June 1964/Dec 1965. We recently held our 50th Anniversary reunion in Washington and my wife & I visited the Viet Nam Memorial and looked up your name. So as an ex--Royal Navy/US Navy sailor I salute you for your courage and sacrifice. Thank you from a fellow Raines. Rest quietly and in peace. Regards and our thoughts to your family.

Brave Soul
Steve was my cousin. He had an older brother who was developmentally disabled. Steve was dedicated to seeing his brother, Phil, would be taken care of; that his mother would have enough money to care for herself and his brother as long as Phil lived.
He visited us in Arizona shortly before returning to Vietnam for his 3rd tour. My father, a WWIl veteran who had served in New Guinea tried to dissuade Steve from going back. I was a child, but vividly remember their debate. My father believed we were in Vietnam for the wrong reasons and that military and political leadership were getting men killed densely. Steve replied, "I don't know how to live in this society any longer. I feel more at home in Vietnam." We never saw him again.
Rest in well deserved peace Steve.
