Ray Sulfridge served in three different branches of the armed forces. He served two years in the Navy aboard the USS San Diego - the 2nd most decorated ship in WW2. It also never got hit by a bomb, torpedo, or Kamikaze, nor did it lose a man to combat. As such, the San Diego was selected to lead the 250-ship fleet into the Tokyo Bay for the Japanese surrender.

In this short video, Ray recounts how he got into the Navy, and later how how he went into the Army Air Corps, which then became the U.S. Air Force.

Filmed by Bryan Bowermaster of Bowermaster Productions on Monday, November 8, 2021 in Mountain Home, Idaho.
