The wall in DC reflects names of those who died in Viet Nam. What it doesn't show is all those who have died since because of VN ( Agent Orange )
Cpl. Leal may have dealt w this among other things. Ben, a close VN buddy of his, reflected he to was dealing w this. But mostly he spoke of their great friendship & what a great guy Raymond was. He will miss him very much. Ben, along w the 12 of us PGR riders, signed a card for the family. The family was so taken by our presents that they gave the PGR a contribution. I explained this was not required but they insisted. We are most grateful & will put it to good use.
It is an honor to stand for Raymond & his family. Thank you for that honor. May God give you comfort in this time of loss.
