  2. From Michael Armstrong 2-14-2012: I read Ray's book "My Three Years in the Marine Corps" for the first time in 2010 I don't know of a better way to get insight into what the Marine Raiders of WWII were thinking and doing other than read their letters home. This book is a personal insight into the life of a Marine Raider and his family and friends back in the states; particularly his Sweetheart. Marines, this is a great read and an excellent addition to your library. I've also read Ray's former and current sweetheart and wife, Helen's book, "Simple Times, Simple Pleasures" It was a great read also and gives insight into what it was like for her during that time, which was one of the toughest times in American history. Semper Fi and Gung Ho, Ray, Mike Autographed book is available from Ray Merrell From George Finley: Your book has a lot of day to day stuff in it and a love story besides. It isn't all blood and guts that a lot of war books are. Gung Ho, George
