~DARREL RAY BIMBERRY~
The son of Hubert & Velma Oliver Brimberry
I can remember that day like it was yesterday.
I was 14 years of age when the news came that my cousin Darrell Ray had been killed in action.
That was my first Military funeral to attend, it was sad but also beautiful. The Taps were played by a soldier in the woods and answered by another at the graveside.
The family was so heart broken, Velma, his mother never believed he was killed, but would come home again someday.....
