Red
Raiders Who Have Made the Ultimate Sacrifice
The
annals of Barnstable High School Red Raider gridiron lore are replete
with feats of glory and
personal
and team accomplishment not often paralleled in Massachusetts high
school football history,
but
for a scant few Red Raider football alums there exists a breed set
apart from the rest that cannot
be
forgotten: those men who gave their lives while serving their country.
