Raymond Evans, speaks during a memorial service commemorating the 75th Anniversary of Guadalcanal at Signalman First Class Douglas Munro's memorial, at the Point Cruz Yacht Club in Honiara, Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, Aug. 7, 2017. During the war Evans saw extensive combat service, including participating in the attack on Guadalcanal, where both he and his shipmate, Munro, gained national acclaim for their heroic rescue operation that saved a Marine Corps unit that was trapped behind enemy lines.
