If you look at the first flatbed there's a gunner standing up; now if you look at the second flatbed just to the right of that gunner is my head and then Ray's. I remember the guy standing there in the road taking this picture and I am positive that it's Ray and me in that picture...

that was one hell of a flight

the guy between levitt and ray is spc boyles.

i remember that day. it was saddams birthday. and i still have that beret handing on my wall.

I think about him all the time, but then, I'm his mother. There's just something about sunrises and sunsets that bring Ray Joseph to mind so vividly. He loved both so much. He was always looking up. Even now that he has to be gone from us for a time, the skies in the early morning and at dusk can sometimes be filled with color that just takes my breath away. I think of him smiling with me as we look at a blazing skies once more. His view now must surely be wonderous.

Good pic him an that smile it never ended and just to correct it that aint down time he is on radio guard in the hallway of our compound to keep the Haji from coming up there
he even smiled while he was on guard if that dont tell you how he was nothing will

I never knew Ray but I was told he was a great person. And that he could light up a room. I'm proud to be at the school he graduted from.

I never meet Ray but he seems like he was a very nice and caring person. I hear nothing but the best of him from Mrs.Jameson. Don't worry, Ray will never be forgoten.

Even though I never met Ray personally, I have heard of many things that he has accomplished, and I am very sorry for his loss. I think he was an amazing young man, and I love that every picture you have of him, he is smiling. His memory is passed by each and everyone of us, and Im very happy that I heard of his story.

Even though I maybe a complete stranger to him, I know Ray extremely well. He is making differences in many lives and his spirit lives on! Ray will, Ray will never, Ray cannot ever be forgotten! Even when i grow up, i am sure that his story will be forever known!

So many people are so very thankful of individuals like Ray. Although I never knew him, I've heard a number of outstanding characteristics about him that I strive to develop for myself. Ray will always be a role model of mine, continuing to make an impact on my life.

Ray was a beautiful man and i really respect him for what he has done for our country. It is not everyday somebody desides to deticate theirselves for our freedom, and Ray has done that. Im so sorry for your loss. Looking at the many pictures i can see that Ray was a very lovable person and must have been a joy to have around. I wish your family luck in everything. HAPPY HOLIDAYS, and thanks.

Ray was truely an extraordinary person and student. I wish i could have been able to meet him. I greatly appreciate all that he and others like him do for our country. Thank you.

wow this picture really made me smile today. I remember being pen pals with ray the whole time he was there, and how fun it was to send each other mail and pictures, and when i looked at this picture closley i realised he had all the pictures i sent him up on his wall. He truly was a the best friend somone could have. still love and miss you ray

Even though I have never met Ray, I feel like I knew him. He seemed like such an amazing person with such a caring heart. He appears happy and care-free in every picture he is in. I only wish I could have met him in person.

even though he looks hot and tired, his personality os still able to shine through. his story is such an inspiration to me and everyone else herea the creek newspaper. i only wish i could have met him and seen how much of an amazing person he is in real life.

Ray was an inspiring photographer, and a wonderful person. Though I never got the honor of meeting him, I've learned much about him, and have become a better person since learning of his bright outlook on life. Even being so far from home, Ray has a great smile on telling us everything would turn out for the best.

ray was a looker just like his dad.
love, alysa

he was truly a proud and brave soldier
