Peace and condolence, to the family and friends. "He which hath no stomach to this fight, let him depart. But we in it, shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers!! For he today, that sheds his blood with me, shall always be my brother.” Rest in peace brave soldier, you have not been forgotten. (W.Shakespeare) May God Bless You for your Sacrifice!!!

I Remember Richard.
Richard and I attended a small parochial grade school, Whittier Christian Elementay, in the late 50's and early 60's. A bit eccentric, Richard had always insisted he wanted to become a "Prussian Soldier". We all found this quite amusing and insisted that the age of warfare had long passed. Idealists, we were. Idle talk in a world poised on the brink of a"police action" in a country none of us had even heard of but, Richard would not be swayed. He new early on that his personal destiny was to serve his beloved country in a way that none of us kids could ever dream. He willingly gave his life for a cause in which he believed. Few of us would ever have our own beliefs tested to the breaking point. Richard met the challenge. I don't know if anyone else will remember him.I'm sure his family is gone now.but someone must remember each face, each name on that cold, black wall, lest we as a nation, a people free, forget the ultimate price others have paid. I remember Richard.and I pledge: before I die, old friend, I will visit you at The Wall. Goodbye, Richard. Please forgive any harm I may have caused you. You will not be forgotten. With love, the fat kid with glasses, Larry.
