THE WALL OF FACES

Hello! I'm a senior GHS student and I decided to pick you for my presentation. Thank you for your services and I hope you rest well.

Dear Rick, it’s now been 56 years that you’ve been gone from my life. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about you…and miss you. You remain in my heart. I have never said goodbye because I know I’ll be with you again. Be at peace love. You are not forgotten.

Dear Rick, another season changing and another year about to end. It’s Christmas Eve 2023. Our last was 1967. It’s hard to believe the years are going by so fast. You were my life. You were my everything. I have never gotten over losing you. It’s been really hard missing you and loving you from so far away. Until we meet again. Merry Christmas Rick. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.

In honor of your dedication, service, and sacrifice to our Country, our Corps, and our CAP unit, on 8 August 2024 the CAP Unit Veterans Association will honor you by having a brick engraved with your name installed along the walkway of the National Museum of the Marine Corps, Quantico, Virginia, at the Combined Action Platoon Memorial.
Thank you for your service to our Corps and Country.
Semper Fidelis.

Thank You for your bravery and sacrifice; I noticed Lory started writing on your wall in 2011 and kept on; something must have changed again in her life so I pray from your heavenly home you have come down and helped her go through her loss and grief.
