U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Clifton
“Ray” Coffey joined the military in 1998
after knowing he’d be a Marine his
whole life. Following his basic training,
Coffey was stationed at Camp Pendleton,
California, where he was trained as a
Forward Observer.
In 2003 Coffey was deployed to Iraq.
During a convoy, Coffey’s unit was
ambushed by a group of insurgents.
During the attack, Coffey suffered wounds
from enemy fire to his back and legs.
Following his return to the United States,
Coffey began training for another combat
deployment. In February 2004, he was
deployed to Iraq for a second time. During
patrol, a large insurgent force ambushed
Coffey and his fellow Marines. Coffey
quickly lead his unit out of the “kill zone”
and immediately initiated a counter attack
that resulted in an intense firefight. During
the attack, Coffey was wounded by the
blast of an improvised explosive device
(IED). As a result of the multiple blasts,
Coffey lost consciousness and suffered
shrapnel wounds to his head, neck, back,
knees, ankles and teeth. Following the
ambush, he was medically evacuated and
treated for his injuries. Upon his return
to the United States, Coffey was promoted
to Staff Sgt. He medically retired after 13
years of service.
Some of Coffey’s long-term injuries
include: post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD), a traumatic brain injury,
cognitive disorders, memory loss, hearing
loss, vision loss and damage to his
back, ankles, knees, feet and teeth. He is
currently undergoing surgeries for sinus,
jaw and teeth restoration. As a result of
his service, Coffey was presented with
numerous awards, some of which include
a Purple Heart, a Navy and Marine
Achievement Medal and a Bronze Star
with the combat “v” device.
In August 2014, Ray, his wife, Melanie,
and their three children – daughter,
Briana and sons, Cody and Justin were
surprised to learn that Henley Homes, Inc.
would build them a mortgage-free home
in Georgetown, Texas! The family moved
into their home on January 31, 2015.
