  1. Marine PFC Raymond L. Butler, you are considered by many a hero, for you gave your life against the Japanese enemy, so that others may live. You will ALWAYS be Forever Young. May you R. I. P.

  2. Uncle Raymond, I never knew you personally but I still know you because family wouldn’t let your memory go. As you know from looking down on us you have many nieces and nephews who followed your footsteps to serve our country. Rest in Peace Uncle, we’ll cover your watch.
