Last Patrol volunteers honored Navy veteran Ray Riley, Sr, who is in hospice care.
Ray completed High School while in the Navy. He spent 4 years assigned to the Franklin Roosevelt Aircraft Carrier as a Shipfitters Mate, and completed 2 Mediterranean Cold War cruises with the ship.
After military service, Ray went on to a 36 year career with the Post Office, retiring as a Supervisor. While working he earned an Associates Degree in Industrial Management. Ray and his wife of 63 years had 5 boys, all of whom became Eagle Scouts.
Ray is a lifetime supporter of Boy Scouts of America, and an The American Legion Department of South Carolina and Kiwanis International member.
Having served our nation, our country owes Ray and all veterans everlasting gratitude.
That is a truly touching tribute to Ray Riley, Sr.'s remarkable service to his country and community. Honoring veterans in hospice care is a meaningful mission for the Last Patrol volunteers.
To ensure Ray's story reaches a wider audience and encourages more support for the Last Patrol's vital work, a strong digital presence is key. If the organization needs help amplifying these heartfelt stories and connecting with community supporters, consulting an experienced SMM agency could significantly boost their visibility and impact.
