I just wanted to THANK EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!! Friday night was amazing. Our community, family and friends are the best in the world! Ray was so amazed that, that many people showed up to welcome him home! Although I thought it was going to be a good turnout, in my wildest dreams I did not imagine it to be that tremendous. So from the bottom of our hearts we want to thank everyone!

Ray,

You don't know me from adam, but I am proud of you for protecting our Freedom. I was there when you came home standing next to Mrs B(gym teacher) from Good Intent School. My Son is a Junior @ Washington Township HS and in the Air Force ROTC, his dream is to become a Marine Pilot. I wish you and your family the BEST and know that there is some complete stranger out her praying for you...

Hi Ray & Family,

My name is Kris Abbruzzi and I'm a Soldier's Angel from Rhode Island. I just wanted to let you know Ray that you will be in my thoughts and my prayers each and every day - forever. God bless you Ray, I was just reading some of the blog and boy you are just incredible. You have come so far and you're just remarkable! Stay strong, brave warrior - you're getting there!!

I also wanted to thank you Ray for your brave, heroic service, and for everything you have done, given, sacrificed and continue to sacrifice for this country. I am so proud and honored to be a recipient of the Freedom you have fought so hard for.

America is the "Land of the Free, because of the brave". Brave warriors like yourself. If it were not for you and the heroes that have fought and died for this country, we would never and could never know what a sweet, precious, and expensive gift Freedom is. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I look forward to keeping up with you on your journey to recovery!!

Oh, and Angel Hugs will be sent your way every day along with prayers and support. God bless you Ray, God bless your family, God bless the Military and God bless America.
