Maurice Collick comrade-in-arms July 19.1968 3504 Bessie Street Norfolk, Va 23513 USA To my brother Marine and personal friend Rat I was with Rat the night before he was taken away from us. I remember trying to convince Rat that all would be well with him and that he was going to make it. My brother and friend, you know better than me that when God wants you, nothing or nobody can stop His plan for us. I think about you often, my brother and I pray that one day we will see each other again in that great meeting place on high in the sweet bye and bye. Love you, miss you.
