Burial at Sea Raymond was one of the twenty-eight crew members picked up and identified by USS Helm between Sunday August 5, 1945 to Monday August 6, 1945. It not being possible to bring Raymond aboard for the official Burial at Sea Ceremony, he was reverently placed in a sea bag, weighted with two 5" shells and "committed to the deep" by his fellow seamen.
