MARIO RAMIREZ’S LAST OPERATION   (Ray Ramirez, D Co) (provided by Jack Tarr from Remembrances)
   Sgt. Mario Ramirez was a draftee from Pontiac, MI, but he volunteered for Airborne.  He was originally in the Anti-Tank Platoon.  Mario then became a member of D Company (Provisional).  Mario was killed on his last day in the jungle.  The day before he was scheduled to rotate, there was no new squad leader so he went out to the field during Operation Cedar Falls.     
   When my squad returned to the Battalion n CP, people were in tears because they had heard that Sgt. Ramirez had been killed and they thought it was Sgt. Ray Ramirez!  I stayed in touch with the family for several years.
