My friend from Vietnam

I will always remember the good times we had at Ft. Sill and in Vietnam. I was Rich's mentor when he first got in country. I taught him the ropes on being a FO. We shared many difficult times. It was an honor to have known him.

Richard was funny, kind, caring and a dear person. He loved life, his family, his country and Texas A&M. Seems so long ago.
