THIS IS ABOUT A YOUNG MAN THAT HAS SERVICED HIS COUNTRY FOR MANY  YEARS, FIRST HE WENT INTO THE NAVY AND WORKED HARD TO BECAME A UDT/SEAL AND SERVICED HIS COUNTRY WITH FULL HONORS, AFTER HE FINISHED HIS TIME IN THE NAVY THIS YOUNG WENT INTO THE ARMY. THE YOUNG MAN WAS SENT TO IRAQ , THIS YOUNG HAD ALWAYS GAVE HIS ALL TO SERVICE HIS COUNTRY AND ON 3/22/2008 WHILE ON PATROL THIS YOUNG MANS TRANPORT WAS ATTACTED AND HIT,  WHERE THE YOUNG MAN  AND 3 OTHER MEN GIVEING THE SUPREME SACRIFICE  THERE LIFE'S IN THE DEFENSE OF THERE COUNTRY. NOW I  HAVE A QUESTION FOR ALL FELLOW SERVICE MEN & WOMEN AS WELL AS  ALL AMERICANS.  I  FIRMLY FEEL THAT ONCE YOU BECOME A   US NAVY SEAL YOU ARE A NAVY SEAL FOR LIFE, AND I FIRMLY FEEL THAT THIS YOUNG MANS NAME SHOULD BE PLACED ON THE WALL OF HONORS IN THE U.S NAVY SEAL MUSEUM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW  HOW MANY OF YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY?

AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE CHANGED MY PICTURE, I WOULD LIKE ALL OF YOU TO SEE Sgt. THOMAS C. RAY II (Jr.) HIS FATHER WAS IN THE NAVY ALSO. LET ME TELL YOU SOME MORE ABOUT THOMAS, HE WENT THROUGH SEAL TWICE. HE DID NOT MAKE IT THE FIRST TIME BUT HE WOULD NOT GIVE UP AND HE MADE IT THE 2nd TIME. I CAN'T BE SURE WHY HE LEFT THE NAVY BUT AFTER TALKING WITH MY WIFE THIS MIGHT BE THE REASON. WHEN I WAS ON THE TEAMS ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO, MY WIFE WAS SCARED ALL THE TIME. I REMEMBER WHEN I CAME HOME ALL SHE WOULD DO IS CRY ! ! ! AFTER ALL THE YEARS I WAS IN THE SERVICE MY WIFE CRIED EVERY DAY BECAUSE SHE KNOW HOW THAT IT WAS A GOOD CHANCE THAT SHE WOULD NEVER SEE ME AGAIN. MAYBE THOMAS DID NOT WANT HIS WIFE AND FAMILY TO GO THROUGH THAT ANY MORE SO WHEN HE COMPLETED HIS NAVY SERVICE, BEING THE MAN THAT HE WAS AND TO STILL SERVE HIS COUNTRY HE WENT INTO THE ARMY SO HIS WIFE AND FAMILY WOULD NOT WORRY AS MUCH. NOW I AM NOT SURE OF THIS BUT AFTER TALKING WITH MY WIFE, I THINK THAT WHY HE DID NOT STAY WITH THE TEAMS.
