Ray was a United States Army veteran who served bravely as a member of the 2nd Battalion, 25th Infantry Regiment in the Vietnam War, where he received the Bronze Star Medal. Upon completion of his tour, he joined the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., serving for 20 years before retiring in 1990.
