Raymond L. Ayon
Bio
Raymond L. Ayon was born in California in 1929. He enlisted in the United States Merchant Marines at the age of sixteen. However, he was sent back home after spending only a year abroad as he was discovered to be too young to serve. After graduating from high school, he joined the United States Air Force, which assigned him to a fighter bomber squadron in Japan. Later, he was reassigned to the medical corps, where he tended to the wounded. In 1950, when the war broke out, he was sent to Korea, where he was responsible for loading casualties onto transport planes bound for Japan. Despite not being an infantry soldier, he is proud of his service and is sensitive to any ideas that may diminish it.

Training as a Corpsman
Raymond L. Ayon enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1948 after graduating from high school. While serving in Japan, he operated a rig to refuel large aircraft. One day, he was transferred to a medical laboratory technical school to train as a corpsman, providing aid to the wounded. Having excelled in biology in high school with straight A's, he believes this was a factor in his selection as a corpsman. He describes the challenging task of taking and giving blood samples with his fellow trainees. He confesses to being unaware of what this new specialty would entail.

The War’s Painful Memories
Raymond L. Ayon vividly remembers his deployment to Korea, just two days after news of the war broke out on his base in Japan. Upon arrival in Suwon, he could hear the sounds of artillery in the distance. As soon as he disembarked from the C-47 transport plane, he and other medical personnel immediately tended to the wounded and attended to casualties. He was taken aback by the number of pine boxes he saw, which he later discovered were caskets made by South Korean carpenters. His experiences treating young soldiers, many of whom were no more than eighteen, nineteen, or twenty years old, left him with painful memories that he still carries with him to this day.

Caring for Wounded Enemy POWs
During his time in Daegu, Raymond L. Ayon was responsible for the care of wounded enemy POWs for a period of two years. He recalls the conditions of one particular POW who required an inoculation but was afraid of the syringe. As a corpsman, his duty was to provide the necessary treatment and release them once they were fit to go. He remembers a moment when General McArthur passed by in a motorcade while they were waiting to cross the Hans River on a pontoon, which was an exciting experience for most of the men. Towards the end of the video, he briefly discusses the numerous medals he was awarded due to his military service.

The Risks of Being at War
Raymond L. Ayon vividly recalls the day when he was in the back of one of the last vehicles in a truck convoy. As they were passing a road raider that was clearing the area, their driver had to swerve to avoid a collision. As a result, he was thrown out of the truck bed and was left suspended in midair. He remembers feeling like his life was flashing before his eyes before hitting the ground, which he believed would be unsurvivable. He and the other passengers were injured, and he applied first aid to himself shortly after the crash. The accident impaired vision in his right eye, which is now officially blind.
