Ray, Yesterday I was very honored to read 30 names at the cermony at the wall to honor those who made the supreme sacrifice. I also searched for your name on the wall to give you the respect and honor that you so deserve. I remember sharing a room with you at the Rural Development Cadre training that we attended in Vung Tau for a few days. I clearly remember your telling me that you had 8 children because I was one of 7 children. Every time I go to the wall I share a rememberence of you. Jack Warner.
I was very young when my Father was killed. I have only one memory of him taking me to the hospital when I fell and broke my nose. It saddens me that I was too young to remember, when my older brothers and sisters have such wonderful memories. But I have pride in my heart for my father's service to this country. God rest his soul and bless the family he left behind to carry on his legacy. Andrea Suarez Morales.
My name is Leslie Suarez Daniels. I am the second of eight children. My father was Raymond Suarez, Jr. He was killed while during his second tour of duty during the winter of 1969. I was 12 years old when he died, just becoming old enough to understand what he was all about. I truly miss having him in my life, but I know he died doing something to help others. May God Bless my Dad and all who served. Leslie Suarez Daniels.
Team Member: I served with LTC Raymond Suarez, commading officer of MACV Team 67/94, in Song Be, Phouc Long Province, Vietnam and I was there the night he was killed on 23 February 1969. For anyone who survivied that night, it had to be the worst night of their lives, and if it wasn't - God save them. Out Team was routinely mortared, rocketed and ground probed because we were the end of the line for the Ho Chi Minh trail as the enemy hung a left out of Cambodia on their way to Saigon. That night was different. The constant barrage started early in the morning and lasted until daybreak. Sappers made it through the wire and blew the command bunker where LTC Suarez and Captain Raymond Callahan were killed as they coordinated the Team's defense and called for air and artillery support. Most of us made it through that night because of these brave men's actions. To the families of LTC Suarez and Captain Callahan: the men who survived and their families thank you for the supreme sacrifice made by these two heroes. Robert Limage, [email protected].
My father: Lt Col Suarez was my father. We had transferred to Clark Air Base to be closer to him. My dad came home on leave for my 9th birthday (sorry Robert, you were 11 or 12), February 3rd. Two weeks later he was gone. I remember being home from school when the mortuary affairs officer showed up. I didn't want to believe he was really gone. I think I was 13 when I finally gave up hope that it was all a mistake. My dad lived and breathed the Army, sometimes at the expense of his family, but I believe he was trying to make a better life for us all. He died for this country as many are doing today. God rest his soul and may we never forget that these men and women had families who gave the ultimate sacrifice...their loved ones. Dad, I wish you could have known my family.
