The Phoenix Suns will celebrate Veterans day on Saturday night with APS Military Appreciation Night. The team will honor all who have fought for our freedom throughout that game, including World War II Veteran Ray Lemons.
Lemons joined the United States Navy at the age of 17 with special parental permission. He joined three of his brothers, who were also deployed around the world. Lemons asked to serve on a destroyer, but was assigned to a minesweeper in the Pacific Theater for the duration of the war. During that time, he was sent to Okinawa, Korea and mainland Japan after the Allied victory.
