WSI's Ray speaks at Veterans Day program
Retired Marine Corps Col. Eddie Ray of Wackenhut Services' Savannah River Site team spoke earlier this week at Schofield Middle School as part of its Veterans Day Program, according to the Aiken Standard.
Ray now serves as WSI's director of special operations at SRS, with responsbilities for law enforcement, barricade sercurity, aviation and special response operations.
"What is embedded in the concept of the military," he told the students, "is teamwork with a goal of common trust...and performing with an unselfishness and sacrifice to serve us all."
Ray praised the unsung efforts of teachers and encouraged the students to pursue civic engagement in the community.
