Your earthly resting place

I did not know you, Richard but your earthly resting place is located right next to that of my parents. I don't get out to Long Beach very often. But when I do stop by to tidy up my parents' headstone, I make sure I tidy yours and what appears to be your parent's headstones as well. We were the same age when you went off to Vietnam to serve our country. Judging by your medals, you must have been one heck of a helicopter pilot and risked your lives many times to save the lives of others. Those achievements will last forever. Jesus said, "No greater love has a man than to give up his life for his friends." Eileen O.
