Guadalcanal: Where Angels Sang


I have now had the honor and privilege of reading all of Raymond's letters that I have in my possession at least once. I read the following V-Mail from Ray to his brother John ( aka "Jackson" ) for the first time last night. It is now one that I will remember for the rest of my life.

It was written one month to the day before Ray was killed in battle on an island in the Pacific. It was postmarked on 22 Feb 1944.

I believe it is one of the last letters Ray sent. Before I'm done here, I will post them all.
