This was written by Lee Ray, SGT. Ray's brother for what would have been his birthday in 2002.
 
" More Than Just A Name "
 
I have been reading your old letters today, Ed, the ones from the war, to mom and dad, They brought back a lot of memories, many happy ones others-mighty sad.  Then I went for a walk in the woods, same old hills you loved to roam.  I cried when I thought of how you died, in a land so far from home.  June seventeenth will be your birthday Ed, just seventy short years of time.  But we lost you long ago, killed in action May Thirteen, ninteen sixty nine.
What I've really got to say is this, from all the memories that I recall, you mean a lot more to me, brother, than just a name on a cold marble wall.
 
IN MEMORY OF
JOHN EDWARD RAY
