The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Raymond Barker, USMC-- Part 4: His Family Was Devastated By the News
Raymond's family was devastated by the news. A relative remarked: "Even the slightest mention of his name would cause a cascade of tears. There simply was too much grief over his death."
After Raymond's mother received the news, she hung a gold star on her front door, signifying that the family had lost someone in the war.
Ray had a sweetheart before he left for the war and most of his family believe he would have married her.
