Ray Hanisco

In early 1973, Ray Hanisco was honored with a Certificate of Appreciation for Service in the Armed Forces of the United States signed by President Richard Nixon. Within the Certificate it states, "I trust that in the coming years you will maintain an active interest in the Armed Forces and the purpose for which you served." That sentence embodies the heart of the matter: that every person serving in the Armed Forces will remain a steward of that service, exercising his active voice within the community. This book, a compilation of his most significant articles for the Veterans site at bellaonline, remains an enduring legacy to that purpose, a salute of love and appreciation to his fellow comrades-in-arms. Filled with tributes, references, personal experiences, and in-the-know material, this anthology is a must for Veterans, a book of knowledge for those connected through honorable service to his/her country.
