Leave no veteran behind

November 11, 2009

By U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords/For the Range News

When our nation asked Raymond Federico to serve, he answered the call.

Raymond joined the U.S. Navy and served in Southeast Asia, seeing combat from the decks of troop transports and other ships. He manned a .50-caliber machine gun on boats patrolling the rivers of Vietnam.
