Raymond Kirkland

May 4, 2017

This is my husband Ray. After his time in the Navy and serving in the Gulf War, he was the only survivor from his crew to come home. When he came home, he fell into the only thing he knew since a child and that was driving a truck.This was his way to escape what he had been through and what he couldn’t do anything about.
