A friend remembered

We nearly shared birthdays, with Ricky 4 days my senior. Good friends in grade-school and from the neighborhood, we eventually went our separate ways. He went to the seminary to be a priest, I to a local Catholic high school. When the priesthood didn't work out, Ricky chose the USMC as a way to serve others. You see, our parents were members of the "Greatest Generation" and duty-honor-country were part of our being. A year after Ricky's death while serving my own tour in Vietnam as a grunt, I often thought of his courage and it made me more comfortable with my own situation. Thanks Ricky for your sacrifice and friendship!

I knew him as Ricky. I went to school with him. He was a good kid.
