Thank You
Dear Lt Richard Deuter,
Thank you for your service as an Unrestricted Line Officer (Naval Flight Officer) on the U.S.S. RANGER. You are still MIA.
PLEASE COME HOME.
It has been too long, and it's about time for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Be at peace.

NEVER FORGET!
I served with Lt. Deuter as a Plane Captain in VA-196. I actually have some film footage of him. I remember each time when we lost an aircraft, and I remember when his plane went down. It was always traumatic and sobering for all of us. While I didn't know him closely, I got to know his personality and his dedication to his mission. It was a fearful time for all the Pilots, flying into Laos, and he symbolizes the courage, determination, and patriotism of all the Navy pilots in the Vietnam War. God Bless Richard C. Deuter. SALUTE!

Thank you
LT Deuter, you went missing in action, in Laos, the day I was born. When I was in Boot Camp for the USAF in 1992, I was able to find an MIA bracelet with your name on. I wore it proudly each and every day, until it was lost during a move. I am now back in the UK, where I was born, and on every 22nd of November, I pause and reflect on the courage and steadfast determination you gave in your service. Now I am able to finally see a picture of you here and hope to see your name on the Wall next summer, when I visit the Washington DC area, with my 13 year old daughter.
