One incident his daughter, Shirley, recalled was when Ray was sitting in the back of a plane, where the tail gunner was located. He had gotten up from his spot to get more ammo, and a piece of shrapnel came up through the plane. It would have cut him in half if he had been sitting in his seat.

Shirley said her dad talked about the men in his group often and told the family many stories of his military experiences. Ray said, “The Germans in Dresden put American soldiers on the railroad tracks to keep US planes from bombing certain targets.” He was given three Bronze Stars; the Good Conduct Medal; the Victory Medal: and the Air Medal with five Oak Leaf Clusters. He was honorably discharged November 5, 1945 at Chanute Field, Illinois with the rank of staff sergeant.
