IMO Raymond M. Gandia

I just received news a "Brother" of mine, Ray M. "Smoke" Gandia, US Army, Ranger, passed away this afternoon from an aneurysm. I am not sure which Bat he served in as a young soldier but I remember him mentioning "Bat" days. His last duty was AC/RC at FT. Drum, prior to that one of the FA BN there. He originally was going to retire in late 90's was kept until blood clots in legs were taken care of. He had issue with them every since and ultimately took him away.

May you Ride in Peace now Brother.
